Prayers for Ukraine Israel and Palestine

Loving God, we pray for peace in Ukraine.
Help keep people safe and protect them from being hurt.
Please care for children separated from their families,
Please help people who have had to leave their homes.
We pray for love and peace, everywhere.
In the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace.
Amen

Loving God
I see the news and I am afraid
Violence is spiralling out of control.
I don’t know what to think or feel.
The temptation to fall into
Hatred, or
Despair
Feels very close at hand.
Help me to remember
That nothing in all creation
Can separate me from your love
That I know I Jesus.
May your perfect love for me
Cast out my fear
And free me to discern
What it mine to do
Amidst the chaos of this suffering world
Amen
