Prayer from Lyudmila M., in Ukraine’s Kyiv region
We pray:
for the end of the war, and for the enemy to refuse to fight and to leave Ukraine;
that believers should not be forced to kill, but instead be given alternative, non-military service;
for the wounded and prisoners;
for all those who defend the country to stay alive;
for all those under occupation, and for the liberation of the occupied territories;
for those who have lost their relatives and friends;
for those who have lost their homes and property;
for an end to the daily shelling of our territories;
for the volunteers who risk their lives on the front lines, helping those who are in the war zone;
for the authorities of Ukraine, so that they are guided by God’s principles in the management of the country, and make wise decisions for the benefit of the people;
for the sick;
for the children;
for the youth;
for the elderly;
for the conversion of people to God;
for the quick Second Coming of Jesus Christ to our Earth, so that sin, and all the consequences of sin, would be put to an end.
