Ukraine

      A Prayer For Ukraine 

​

Holy and Gracious God,

 

We pray for the people of the Ukraine and the people of Russia, for their countries and their leaders.

​

We pray for all those who are afraid; that your everlasting arms hold them in this time of great fear.

​

We pray for all those who have the power over life and death; that they will choose for all the people life, and life in all its fullness.

​

We pray for those who choose war; that they will remember that you direct your people to turn swords into ploughshares and to seek peace.

​

We pray for leaders on the world stage; that they are inspired by the wisdom and courage of Christ. 

​

Above all, Lord, today we pray for peace in Ukraine.

​

And we ask this in the name of your blessed Son.

​

Lord have mercy.

Amen
