Christina Laschenko, Churchwarden of Christ Church in Kyiv, Ukraine, has written this prayer to commemorate two years of full-scale war in her home country. 

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, in this time of war in our land we call to you and pray…

• We pray that you will draw us together and unite us in the love of Christ that we may proclaim with one voice your justice and righteousness in a broken world. We pray for peace, reconciliation and healing in the places of war, hatred and crucifixion.
• We pray for those civilians who have suffered and will suffer, whether directly through war or because of the economic and political consequences of war. We pray for those who have fled their homes, and for those unable to leave their homes. We also pray for those unable to leave the cities that had become battle sites. We pray for many who are fearful, and do not know what the future holds.
• We specifically pray for the victims of ecocide and destruction in the regions close to battlefields: people, creatures, and natural environment. We pray that joint effort and wise actions would allow to minimize the consequences and prevent more dangers for people, creatures and nature because of the landmines and chemicals having polluted our land because of the war.
• We commend into God's hands the tragedy and futility of war, of those who have died, and those who love them. Receive those fallen in battle, and all innocents who have died: surround their loved ones with compassion, and give them a patient faith.
• Sustain the anxious and fearful, and renew them with courage from on high. Comfort all worried families, whose loved ones are in danger: surround them with your love, protect them from all harm. Be with the sick and wounded, stand by all prisoners and captives: let your mercy be shown to all, and your power to heal and save.
• We pray for the victory of truth, right-ness, justice, mercy and peace. Confirm what is founded on truth, and establish your love in our hearts: that justice may abound on the Earth, and all peoples rejoice in your peace.
