Prayer for Ukraine

 

 

Dear Lord God,

You oppose oppressors.

You punish evil-doers.

You de-throne tyrants.

You protect your children.

You draw hearts to seek you in every circumstance.

So I pray for your righteous judgment on Russia and their aggression against Ukraine.

I lament the loss of life and livelihood.

I pray against war because war is not from you.

I pray for a revival in Ukraine,

for a sweeping of the Holy Spirit through their towns and cities,

for a longing and dependence on you for

salvation,

protection,

comfort,

freedom,

and eternity.

You make yourself known to the nations.

Lord, protect the Ukrainian people,

especially the believers there,

so they can minister to their countrymen.

Lead them to operate out of love,

not hate, for their fellow-man.

I pray for a swift resolution to this conflict.

Lord, set the prisoners free!

I pray for vengeance against the Russian aggressors.

Lavish your love on Ukraine

and the people of Russia who are under Putin’s thumb.

I pray for a reversal of this desperate situation.

And Lord, I pray for the U.S. to act honorably,

intentionally,

and compassionately.

I pray that we respond as we should in your eyes.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

 

But after I uproot them, I will again have compassion and will bring each of them back to their own inheritance and their own country. (Jeremiah 12:15)
