🇺🇦🙏Pray with us for Ukraine and for the world

🇺🇦🙏Pray with us for Ukraine and for the world.

The beginning of this week marked the third anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Yesterday the international community watched in disbelief as the president of one country sought to intimidate and subjugate the president of another in front of the world's media.

At a time when true peace in the world seems beyond reach and much of the news is dominated by global powers seeking to outmanoeuvre one another in their quest to dominate, the voices of those committed to love, justice and peace must raise all the louder.

🙏 Heavenly Father, we pray for the people of Ukraine, that they may know peace, freedom and justice and an end to war in their land.

🙏God of compassion and love, we bring before you all Ukrainian and Russian families who have lost their loved ones during this war. Be close to them and bring them comfort in their anger and grief.

🙏 God of justice and peace, we implore you to move the hearts of world leaders that they may not be motivated by pride and ego but instead strive to lead with integrity, putting the common good of all before the pursuit of power and domination.

🙏Jesus, Light of the World, we pray that all global conflicts may be overcome not by warfare which brings death, sorrow, and destruction but by diplomacy, dialogue and resolution. Above all we ask you to illuminate the hearts of those who seek conflict with compassion and wisdom, that they may replace anger and violence with reconciliation and peace.
