On Sunday, 24th August – Ukraine’s Independence Day and the day before Ukraine’s National Prayer Breakfast – the European Evangelical Alliance calls upon churches and Christians across our continent to pray.
The devastation of lives and communities has gone on for three and half years, let’s cry out to the Lord to stop the conflict and bring about justice and lasting peace. And let’s pray for all the people caught up in this war.
Let’s pray for:
Politicians. Lord, so many politicians seem to hold Ukraine’s future in their hands. But you are present in all their conversations. We ask you to work for the good of peace, justice and restoration and to disrupt evil.
Pastors. Lord, we pray for all Christians who minister in Ukraine, shining your light, hope and healing in your name. We especially pray for those in occupied Ukraine where they are particularly targeted by Russian authorities. Please protect them and renew their spiritual, emotional, physical and practical resources. Thank you that the Council of Evangelical Protestant Churches is a strong body that you are using to bring hope. Encourage them and strengthen them.
People. Lord, we cry out to you for the Ukrainian people. We pray for your comfort and healing for families torn apart, for the grieving, the traumatised, the exhausted and homeless. We pray that children who have disappeared will be safely returned to their families. We pray for new hope and courage.
Peacemakers. One day there will be peace. Lord, we pray that this day will come soon. We pray that you will raise up those whose job will be to establish and secure peace and help Ukraine to be restored.
The National Prayer Breakfast on 25th August. Thank you, Father, that politicians and Christian leaders, including many from abroad (like EEA general secretary Jan Wessels) will be gathering to pray and look only to you for peace with justice. We stand with them in prayer. Lord, we look to you for your mighty hand to answer all these prayers.
The ancient question resounds in our minds: “Is anything impossible for God?” No, Father, we trust in You, and we wait expectantly for You to act to restore all things.
AMEN
