Heavenly Father, hear our prayers for our brothers and sisters in Ukraine and Russia.
Lord we ask for peace for those who need peace, reconciliation for those who need reconciliation and comfort for all who don’t know what tomorrow will bring. Lord may your Kingdom come, and Your will be done.
Lord God, we ask for you to be with all – especially children who are suffering as the crisis in Ukraine deteriorates. Lord for those who are anxious and fearful. For those who are bereaved, injured or who have lost their lives. And for those who have lost loved ones. Lord hear our prayers.
Lord, we ask that decisions makers hear Your voice. Parents protecting their families – deciding whether to stay or leave. Church leaders as they support and comfort people. And Lord we ask for wise actions from global leaders – who have the power not only to start wars, but to stop them too.
And Father God we cry out for an end to this crisis. We pray for all your children, both Ukrainian and Russian, for there are no winners in war. We pray for mercy, peace, and truth – because You are light, hope, power, and love. Amen.

Lesley, thank you for this prayer. The ongoing invasion of Ukraine shows the sinfulness of humankind.

Sometimes, as we go about our daily business, it’s difficult to remember what suffering is going on in other parts of the world. It’s good to make a point of praying for them.
Anne, I don’t know what I clicked on, but your comment somehow got transported to the spam file and, when I retrieved it, there was the word ‘Array’ next to your name. I don’t know what that means . . . perhaps it should be ‘Astray’. 😀
