Stand with Ukraine


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 precious children, at risk and in fear,
that you would hold and protect them.
We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace.
Amen

Archbishop Justin Welby
Archbishop Stephen Cottrell

    Wonderful post!! As their president says, if Ukraine loses, we all lose. They are innocent, plus now the citizens are being attacked and killed; a war crime for sure. Your images are stunning and startling.

    i find it heartening that the humble sunflower - which can be grown in one's gardens relatively easy is the symbol we can all relate to for this war torn country...

    Another amen! Out walking yesterday, I saw a lone sunflower and Ukraine came to my thoughts. I'll never see a sunflower again without thinking of the war-torn country.

    This is perfect! I'm going early to Tractor Supply and buy packets of sunflower seeds to share with my Bible study friends this morning. Ukraine strong!
