The people of Ukraine continue to need our prayers and we especially hold our chaplaincy in Kyiv in our thoughts and prayers. 

We invite churches and individuals to use and share the prayers on this page as part of your own services and as individuals.

Let us join together in prayer

A prayer for peace in our times

Written by The Revd. Kasta Dip

Chaplain for the Anglican Church in Poland with oversight of Ukraine

Lord Jesus Christ, Prince of Peace, you who wept over Jerusalem and know the sorrow of every torn nation, gather Christ Church Kyiv - this small, faithful congregation that meet in your name, sharing bread and word, song and silence, even during these unsettled times.  Bless all who serve and worship there: those who have stayed through with hope, those who have returned with courage, those scattered yet still bound to one another in love. Protect their gathering place, shelter their community, and let their witness shine as a quiet lamp of hope.

Holy Spirit, Comforter and Advocate, breathe reconciliation, soften hearts and guide the leaders of nations toward justice, wisdom, and peace. Turn swords into ploughshares, and teach us all the way of forgiveness, healing, and shared tomorrows.
