A prayer on the anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine


(from the Joint Public Issues Team)


God of peace and justice
With sorrow and lament, we hold the situation in Ukraine before you, a year on from the Russian invasion.
We long for an end to the conflict and the bloodshed and suffering.
We remember people in Ukraine living in fear of death and destruction.
We pray for all who grieve lost lives and opportunities.
May those who have been displaced find safety and welcome in their new communities.
We pray that those with authority and influence will work for a just peace which provides security for all.
As we hold in our prayers all affected by the war,
we pray that they may know that they are held in your loving arms.
In your name we pray,
Amen.
