For peace in Israel and Gaza, healing of heart and mind and body for those grieving, suffering and wounded; for stability among nations to avoid global war and promote world peace. Let us pray to the Lord. Lord, have mercy.
For the leaders involved on both sides of all conflicts especially between Russia and Ukraine and between Israel and Hamas: Lord of the nations and ruler of all the earth, bring common sense and compassion to bear in the hearts and minds of those making decisions with regard to these wars, that peaceful resolutions may be sought and achieved, and especially that nuclear confrontation may be avoided. Bring peace and healing to those lands and comfort to those who grieve. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer. Amen.For peace in Ukraine: God of comfort and of peace, we pray for the people of Ukraine and Russia. Where there is oppression, establish freedom; where there is repression, promote truth. Especially guide all those involved in peace negotiations at this time, that results may be fair and equitable and further the freedoms and stability of the people of Ukraine, that citizens may celebrate your compassion and deliverance and that your grace in Christ may be proclaimed to all. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer. Amen.
