Prayer for Ukraine

Loving God,

We are heartbroken for our Ukrainian brothers and sisters.

For all who are suffering,

For all who are displaced,

For all who are fighting,

For all who are dying,

For all who are fearful,

For all who are resolute,

For all who feel hopeless.
We are sad and sick at heart

This war has been waged on innocents.

We lament and mourn this tragedy and commit to lending our strength and love to those in the fight,

Even as we ask for all bloodshed to cease.

Help us to live out love.
Help us to live out peace and live out and stand up for justice.

In your Name!

AMEN
