Refugee Crisis in the Ukraine Please Pray
Refugee Crisis in the Ukraine – Please Pray
The news coming out of the Ukraine is devastating.
Let’s fight this battle on our knees.
I want to take a moment to pray for the refugees fleeing for safety, for the remaining missionaries, pastors, and humanitarian aid workers, as well as those who are on the ground and heading towards the conflict to render aid.
Father God, we watch the horrific events unfolding daily in the Ukraine.
We know that the outcome will have international consequences.
The entire world is watching with apprehension, and yet nothing that is happening is a surprise to You.
Most gracious Heavenly Father, You hear all of our whys and cries for justice.
You see the candlelight vigils, and You hear the desperate prayers of those who have family still living in this war-torn region.
We pray for Your peace which surpasses all understanding.
Give comfort Lord to those who are on the ground, sheltering in bunkers, and facing extreme danger while this invasion plays out on the world stage.
Most of us can’t even imagine what that kind of stress and worry is like when every moment could be interrupted by bombs, assaults, or an air raid siren.
We pray for the children in the Ukraine and the desperate parents trying to comfort them as disaster advances right outside their doors.
May compassion and discernment guide our world’s leaders as they face this dynamic situation and look for solutions.
Even so, we know that our hope is not in man, but only in what You can give through your Son Jesus Christ.
Lord, we lift all of this situation up to You.
In Your precious name,
Amen.
These things I have spoken to you so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world. – John 16:33, (NASB).
