God of all peoples and nations,

who created all things alive and breathing,

united and whole,

show us the way of peace that is Your overwhelming presence.

We hold before you the peoples of Ukraine and Russia,

every child and every adult.

We long for the time

when weapons of war are beaten into ploughshares

when nations no longer lift up sword against nation.

We cry out to you for peace;

protect those who only desire and deserve to live in security and safety;

comfort those who fear for their lives and the lives of their loved ones;

be with those who are bereaved.

Change the hearts of those set on violence and aggression

and fill leaders with the wisdom that leads to peace.

Kindle again in us a love of our neighbour,

and a passion for justice to prevail

and a renewed recognition that we all play a part in peace.

Creator of all hear our prayer

and bring us peace. Make us whole.

Amen.
