Scriptural Prayer
Lord Almighty, creator of heaven and earth, great is your power and marvelous are Your deeds. Your ways remain just and true, King of kings. We will all fear You and glorify Your Holy name now and forever more. All nations will come before you and speak praises and worship, for You alone are Holy. Thank You, sovereign Lord, for protecting the people of Ukraine, we have all born witness to Your righteous deeds as they have been revealed.
Just as You have spread peace all around the world, we beseech you to extend Your mercy and grace towards Russia and Ukraine as well. You assured us that Your faithful love is unconditional and will endure forever. For this Dear God, we thank You. We are grateful that you continue to protect these nations and giving their governments and allies wisdom during this time of war. As for the military personnel serving and risking their lives in Europe, we ask that You watch over them and keep them safe.
In prayers, supplications, thanksgiving and intercessions to be made for all men, we leave this task to you Oh God. For our presidents, kings, leaders and all who are in authority, touch them with your hand of peace and understanding. Show them the true path to Christianity, that we may lead peaceful, quiet and blessed lives in Your reverence. We want to do only what is acceptable and good in Your Holy sights. It is Your desire for all men to be saved, especially when they call upon your Name. Therefore, we devote this scriptural prayer to the salvation of the good people of Russia and Ukraine. May You grant wisdom and foresight to and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russia President Vladimir Putin.
For both these governments, we pray for solid leadership. We call for divine knowledge to fill their minds and wisdom to enter their hearts – that they may start considering each other’s needs as opposed to waging war and using force. We declare your divine understanding will keep them safe and show them wise choices that will end this quagmire. The Bible tells us that doing wrong is fun for fools, but living wisely brings pleasure to our sensible God.
Therefore Mighty Father, from the ways of evil and violence, We diligently confess that Your wisdom will save Russian, Ukraine and surrounding nations. Within these nations waging war, Dear Jesus, we command peace and prosperity to overflow. Please comfort the citizens of Russia and Ukraine, and raise up people both within and outside their borders who will begin to rebuild that which has been demolished. We commit this prayer for peace in Ukraine and Russia in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit,
Amen
Prayerful Poem for Peace
Mighty Father, King of nations whose sovereign rule brings peace and justice,
We pray that in the hearts of men, your grace and mercies will suffice.
Our world is broken, divided and in pain,
As we witness the wars and ongoing clashes between Russia and Ukraine.
Spread your everlasting peace to the leaders of these countries,
That they may end hatred and alleviate their citizen’s fears and worries.
To the relevant authorities, grant them your divine understanding and wisdom,
To do on earth as it is done in heaven, your kingdom.
Our Mother Mary, Queen of the rosary, show us how to preach peace in the hearts of all,
And banish any thoughts of hatred and violence, the spirit that makes for war,
Instead, let us all act as members of one family, in accordance with and obedience to your law.
We pray this trusting and believing in Jesus Christ your Son,
Amen
