A Prayer for Ukraine

Loving God, we pray for the people of Ukraine, for all those suffering or afraid, that you will be close to them and protect them;
For the ordinary Russians prepared to speak out against the invasion, give thanks for their courage and we ask for your protection of them;
For world leaders, give them compassion, strength and wisdom;
For the world, that we may reach out in solidarity to our brothers and sisters in need; that we may walk in Your way so peace and justice become a reality for the people of Ukraine and for the world.
AMEN.
