Dear Lord,
You have told us to love peace and to pursue it. There is a peace to be pursued in Ukraine. Ukraine gave its nuclear weapons to Russia in exchange for a pledge that Russia would defend Ukraine if Ukraine was every attacked. Then Russia attacked Ukraine without provocation. The Russians have killed and tortured their way through Ukraine, particularly in the Eastern parts.
Lord of Hosts, please deliver the Russian invaders into the hands of the Ukranian defenders. Please send your blessings to every Ukranian and to everyone who helps the Ukrainians. Please unite all of the world against the evil Russian invader and in support of the Ukrainian defenders. Please bring every Russian war criminal to justice. Please avenge all of the murdered, the tortured, the maimed, the kidnapped, and the falsely imprisoned. Please have all those who were harmed by Russia to be compensated by Russia. Please heal all of the physical and psychological wounds of this war.
Please have peace and justice prevail in Ukraine over violence and evil. Speed the arrival of the day when the Russians and Ukranians release their grasp of their rifles and instead grasp the hands of their former enemies in friendship and peace. Speed the arrival of the day when all men do that and know peace so that men shall not have to study war anymore.
Please use us all as your servants to accomplish your will and may future generations learn lessons of peace and justice from the Ukrainian war so that something good and meaningful can come from the pain and the waste. if there are any other ways that good can come from this evil, please have that happen.
Thank you for all of your many blessings and your miracles that are with us daily and let us say, "Amen."
Amen
