In 1475, #StephenTheGreat faced the mighty Ottoman Empire at Vaslui. Vastly outnumbered, his army, fueled by faith and love for their land, crushed the invaders. Before the battle, Stephen prayed fervently, promising to dedicate a church to God for every victory. After Vaslui, he built many churches, fortifying not only his realm but also the spirit of his people.

Lord, may Stephen's courage and faith inspire us to stand firm in adversity and to always turn to you in prayer. Help us to build our lives on the foundation of faith, just as Stephen built churches to Your glory.
