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 preciouss children, at risk and in fear, that you hold and protect them.

We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace.  Amen.
