Prayer for Ukraine
As I’ve been watching the news and what’s been happening in Ukraine, I’ve had such empathy for the people there and my heart has been grieving. I’ve spent time in prayer praying for protection of people, wisdom for the leaders, boldness, and courage, help from others, etc.
In church this past Sunday, we sang the song, “The Blessing”. As I sang, I had a nudge in my spirit that I could pray this for Ukraine. Then I prayed, “This is my prayer for them Lord. This is my prayer for Ukraine.” I changed the words as I sang to customize it into a prayer for Ukraine.
Will you join me in praying this blessing over Ukraine?
Prayer for Ukraine
Lord, bless Ukraine and keep them
Make Your face shine upon them
And be gracious to them
Lord, turn Your face toward them
And give them peace
May Your favor be upon them
And a thousand generations
And their family and their children
And their children, and their children
May Your presence go before them
And behind them, and beside them
All around them, and within them
You are with them
In the morning, in the evening
In their coming, and their going
In their weeping, and rejoicing
You are for them.
Amen.
