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

  1. 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.

  7. 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.
