Policy and Prayer: Afghanistan Crisis

Lord God, Prince of Peace, We lift up the people of Ukraine to You--every family living under fear, every child awakened by alarms, every soldier on the front lines, and every person who has been displaced from home. You see the grief, the trauma, the exhaustion, and the longing for safety. Please surround them with Your protection and comfort. Father, we ask for an end to this war. Stop the violence, restrain evil, and open a path to a just and lasting peace. Give wisdom to leaders and negotiators, and move hearts toward humility, truth, and mercy. Protect civilians, especially the most vulnerable--the elderly, the sick, mothers, and children. Lord, strengthen those who serve and help--medical workers, rescue teams, churches, volunteers, and humanitarian organizations. Provide food, shelter, warmth, medicine, and safe passage for refugees. Heal the wounded, comfort the grieving, and restore hope to those who feel hopeless. Jesus, be near to those who are afraid and those who are mourning. Let Your presence be felt in shelters, hospitals, homes, and battlefields. Raise up courage, unity, and resilience among the Ukrainian people, and let Your light shine even in the darkest places. And Lord, we pray for hearts everywhere to be softened--help us not to grow numb to suffering. Teach us to be generous, to pray faithfully, and to act with compassion. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Jesus, please bring peace to the Ukrainian nation. We ask for quick resolution, for lives to be saved, and most of all for the Ukrainian people to encounter You. We ask for an end to this war. Amen

Lord I pray for peace and honesty from the government of Ukraine. May the the light be shone on the corruption and waste of American moneys sent to help them as it has been here in the US. May the people of Ukraine continue their struggles with your mighty angels guiding them and protecting them.
