Prayer for strength in Ukraine
Peaceful protests have turned into violence in Ukraine. Russian-backed separatists control regions in the east and Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in 2014. War is looming between the two countries.
But despite the looming danger, people of Ukraine are still praying for peace. In this spirit, we offer a prayer for strength and protection from the war in Ukraine.
Dear God,
We come before you with humble hearts asking for your help during these difficult times. We ask that you keep our country safe from any bloodshed, and that you give all who are participating in the protests courage and hope.
We also ask for your forgiveness for our sins against you. Please guide us through this difficult time and bring peace to our land. Amen.

Prayer for wisdom in Ukraine
When Ukraine was first attacked by Russia, people in the United States were quick to condemn Putin for his actions. The US government and many others called for sanctions and a response from NATO.
But what about the people of Ukraine? They are facing a war that they didn’t asked for, and they don’t have the support of their international partners. When we see images of bombed out buildings or people stranded on the battlefield, we can be tempted to forget about these Ukrainians and pray for peace instead.
But prayer isn’t just about asking for something we don’t have faith in ourselves getting. It’s also about listening to God and trusting him with our lives. That’s why during this time of chaos, we should ask him to give us wisdom as we face this difficult situation.
Background on the Ukraine Conflict
The current conflict in the Ukraine has its roots in the former Soviet Union. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Ukrainian government sought to move towards independence from Russia. This led to a series of conflicts, most notably the War in Donbass (2014-present).
In recent years, religious groups have played an important role in protesting and supporting the Ukrainian government. The Ukrainian Orthodox Church is one of the largest churches in Ukraine, and many Ukrainians view it as a symbol of national identity.
Many Ukrainians believe that prayers can help to bring peace and reconciliation to societies in crisis. We hope that our readers will join us in praying for peace and understanding in Ukraine.
The Purpose of Prayer in War
It is well known that prayer can have a positive impact on our lives and the lives of others. It can also be beneficial in times of war.
When waging war, it is important to maintain a sense of peace and harmony within oneself and to ask for guidance from God. Prayer can help us to do this.
Many people believe that when we pray for our enemies, it shows respect for them as human beings. This can help to create a sense of community and goodwill between people in war-time, which can lead to less fighting and greater understanding.
It is also believed that when we pray for those who are fighting against us, God will bless us with victory. Therefore, it is crucial to remember to pray not only for our own soldiers but also for the enemy troops.
Praying for Peace in the Ukraine Conflict
Prayer is often a powerful tool for peace and healing. And, as we enter into another season of Lent, it seems especially fitting to offer up prayer for peace in the Ukraine conflict.
As Ukraine faces arguably its worst international crisis since the fall of the Soviet Union, many are asking what can be done to end the violence. The answer, we believe, lies in prayer.
Since the violence in Ukraine began in November 2013, Christians have joined together in prayer for peace and reconciliation. We’ve also asked God to open hearts and minds to understand why these people are fighting and to come alongside Ukrainians in their time of need.
Please join us as we continue this prayerful work during Lent by joining groups like Interfaith Power and Light (IPL) or Reconciliation Networks UK who are actively engaged in bringing about lasting peace in Ukraine.
May God bless those who pray for peace in Ukraine, bring healing to all involved, and create a more just, sustainable world where all people can live together in harmony.
