Dear God,
We pray for peace and stability in Ukraine and around the world. We ask you to protect the innocent lives that are threatened by war and violence. We pray that you would guide the leaders of nations to seek dialogue and diplomacy instead of aggression and conflict.
We pray for your mercy and healing for those who are suffering from natural disasters, such as dust storms, earthquakes, and blizzards. We ask you to provide them with shelter, food, water, and comfort. We pray that you would inspire people to help each other in times of need.
We pray for your wisdom and justice for those who are facing social and economic challenges, such as student debt, racial inequality, health care access, and environmental issues. We ask you to empower them with courage, hope, and resilience. We pray that you would inspire people to work together for positive change.
We thank you for your grace and love for us. We thank you for the gift of life and the opportunity to learn from each other. We thank you for the beauty of your creation and the diversity of your people.
We ask all these things in Jesus' name,
Amen.
