Prayer for the second anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine

This Saturday (24 February) is the second anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. To mark this, the below prayer has been written by a Ukrainian family hosted by the Black Country Methodist Circuit. 

Lord God of power,

You alone work miracles, so be kind to all and hear us.

Help us God, our Saviour, and deliver the people of Ukraine from persecution.

Come to our aid and destroy the intentions and unrighteous boldness of those who go to war against our people.

Calm those who oppose your commandments.

Grant us all peace, salvation and joy in our hearts.

For you are protection and salvation for those who trust in you.

We give you glory, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and forever.

Amen
