A Prayer for Ukraine

God of peace and justice,
send your blessing on the people of Ukraine.
Sustain them in their courage,
hold them in their fear,
protect them from all danger
and be for them the hope they desire;
for Jesus Christ’s sake.

Lord God of hosts,
we pray for those who choose war this day,
taking the blood of others.
You set before us the day
when swords will be turned into ploughshares,
so direct the leaders of the world
to seek the peace and courage 
of the one who made peace, 
not by blood taken, but by blood given,
our Saviour, Jesus Christ. 
Amen.
