Please continue in prayer for Ukraine. You may care to use this one from Bishop June Osborne of the Diocese of Llandaff:
Almighty God,
Hear our cry for those who suffer as a result of this conflict, for those in this country who are concerned for loved ones living in Ukraine, for those who have fled their homeland and longing to return, for those who have lost homes, livelihoods and hope for the future, for those who have been injured in body, mind or spirit by the conflict, for those who mourn loved ones killed by the bombing and fighting.
Lord, we see too clearly the devastation and human cost of this war, and we ask you to gently surround all who need you this day with the knowledge of your unfailing love.
Please soften the hearts and open the eyes of all who seek the continuation of this violent military conflict, so that they may see the damage, pain and cruelty that is being inflicted on their fellow humans, and by seeing the pain, they may be led, through your Holy Spirit, to repentance, and through repentance to seek the ways that leads to peace, reconciliation and restoration to that part of the world, through the one who calls all to live in peace and harmony with one another, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
