Our loving God,

As you look down on your children in Ukraine, we ask that you bring this military conflict to an end as quickly as possible.
Change the hearts of those who cling to evil and aggression.
Help us to realize that violence cannot solve our problems.
Heal the hearts of those who have lost loved ones.
Be merciful to veterans of this conflict.
Help their families and society as a whole understand and accept them.
Please build up the broken economy of our country.
Build it up so that stability can be an instrument for peace in society.
Above all, help us build bridges of mutual understanding, regardless of political, religious, social and cultural differences.
Help us learn to stop condemning and comparing, and to turn to understanding and forgiveness.
Raise up your church to do the work of peacebuilding.
Bring about your reconciliation.
Lord, grant that people in Ukraine seek you and know you.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.
