A prayer for blessing on the people of Ukraine
God of peace and justice,
send your blessing on the people of Ukraine and Russia.

for Jesus Christ’s sake.

A prayer for the Ukraine crisis
Lord God of hosts,
we pray for those who choose war this day,
taking the blood of others.
You set before us the day
when swords will be turned into ploughshares,
so direct the leaders of the world
to seek the peace and courage
of the one who made peace,
not by blood taken, but by blood given,
our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
Amen.
