 A Prayers for Ukraine

A Prayer for Ukraine

God of peace and justice,
we pray for the people of Ukraine today.
We pray for peace and the laying down of weapons.
We pray for all those who fear for tomorrow,
that your Spirit of comfort would draw near to them.
We pray for those with power over war or peace,
for wisdom, discernment and compassion to guide their decisions.
Above all, we pray for all your precious children, at risk and in fear,
that you would hold and protect them.
We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace.
Amen.                                                                                                                                                                          Archbishop Justin Welby Archbishop Stephen Cottrell

Gracious and Merciful God, we pray today for the Ukrainian people and ask for Your intervention in this senseless war levied against them by Russia.

We pray, O God, for protection and that there would be peace. O Lord hear us, we pray.

We pray for restoration and renewed hope. O Lord hear us, we pray.

We pray for the families, especially, the children living through the horrors of war and all the upheaval and tribulation it brings. O Lord hear us, we pray.

We pray for those protesting in Russia against these violent acts by their government.

       O Lord hear us, we pray.

We pray You would protect, cover and keep these protesters as they put their bodies on the line in the name of what is just and righteous.  O Lord hear us, we pray.

We pray for the entire world community, including the leaders in our own country. Give them wisdom and ingenuity to respond in ways that ends this war and moves us all to a world where Your peace abides. Hear the cries of Your people, O God.

        Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Amen.                                      

                                                                                                                                         Dr. Tony Kireopoulos, Associate General Secretary National Council of Churches, adapted

Lord, Jesus Christ: You said, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you” (John 14:27a).  We join our prayers to those of the people of Ukraine, who look to the heavens for peace and protection during this time of violence and oppression.  And we ask for your mercy, that it may change the hearts and minds of those who have chosen the path of destruction. Amen.

Holy Spirit: Knowing that war can bring about only suffering and death, we look to you to bring about reconciliation between the peoples of Ukraine and Russia.  And together with them, we pray for the peace of the whole world…for every city and land…[and] for our deliverance from all affliction, wrath, danger and necessity. Amen.                                                                                                                                                                                                              The National Council of Churches USA
