Prayer for Ukraine

Heavenly Father,

We lift up Ukraine to You today, asking for Your grace and mercy to be poured out on this nation. We pray for the people of Ukraine, that You would give them strength and courage to face the challenges they are facing.

We pray for the leaders of Ukraine, that You would give them discernment and courage to lead with integrity and compassion. We pray for the church in Ukraine, that You would use it to be a light in the darkness and a beacon of hope for the people.

We pray for peace and reconciliation in Ukraine, and for an end to the violence and conflict. We ask that You would bring healing and restoration to those who have been affected by the fighting.

We trust in Your goodness, Your faithfulness, and Your sovereign plan for Ukraine, and we pray that Your love and Your light would shine bright in this nation.

In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
