O Lord our God,

We are heartbroken for our Ukrainian sisters and brothers

For all who are suffering,


For all who are displaced, For all who are fighting, For all who are dying, For all who are fearful, For all who are resolute, For all who feel hopeless.
We are sad and sick at heart; that war has once again been waged on innocents, on anyone.We lament and mourn this tragedy. We ask for all bloodshed to cease.As Christ has shamed violence, so do we.
Jesus forgave his enemies and loved them even from the cross,
We are commanded to love our enemies and pray for them.
We pray for all in Russia who are suffering.
For all who are displaced, For all who are fighting, For all who are dying, For all who are fearful, For all who are resolute, For all who feel hopeless.
Lord Jesus your RESURRECTION is about a whole new way of living!
Help us to live out love.
Help us to live out peace and live out and stand up for justice. In your Name! AMEN
