God of Mercy, for whom no one is beyond the limits of Your love,
May we seek your peace.
We pray for Ukraine.
For the church witnessing in Ukraine and all those who call on your Name,
For refugees and those uprooted from their homes and lives,
For soldiers exposed to danger and civilians who dwell in fear,
For those without food, water or medicines,
For those who have witnessed death and destruction on their streets,
For those who have experienced the loss of a loved one,
For those separated from parents, from children, from spouses and siblings,
For all those providing comfort and shelter,
For those having the power over life and death; that they will choose for all people life,
For the wounded, the dying, and the captive, that you would bring healing of body and soul,
For medical workers ensuring that shattered bodies are put back together again,
For ordinary Russians, that they turn swords into ploughshares and seek for peace,
For world leaders; especially those enabling Ukrainians to have safe passage,
For President Putin and those who choose war; that they instead seek the Lord with all their hearts.
For ourselves, that the Holy Spirit grant us the will to turn our prayers into example, and that we become doers of the Word also.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray./ В ім’я Ісуса Христа ми молимося.
Amen
