A Prayer for Ukraine

Day 65:  A Prayer for Ukraine

Father, we know you hear the bombs exploding in Ukraine and see the people running for their lives.  You hear the cries of the Ukrainian nation and feel their pain as they are losing their homeland to evil.  We know that you are smack in the middle of the war zone in Ukraine and are witnessing the brutality of a godless dictator destroying life...the life you have given to each Ukrainian. 

Father, you say that we can come to you and share what is on our hearts.  You have said that you will listen and will respond.  You say in Jeremiah 33:3, to call you and you will answer us.  Father, this is my call on behalf of forty-four million people, plus, billions more around the globe. 

Father, we need you to act boldly and swiftly.  We need you to reach inside President Putin's heart and pull out the evil that is controlling his ruthless actions.  We need you to stop the war that has been waged on innocent people.  Ukrainians need protection that no gun, aircraft or tank can provide...They need you! 

In a spoken word, you can stop the war.  You are stronger than any dictator and have more fire power than any military might.  You alone have the ability to create peace in the midst of war and calmness in the midst of fear and hope in the midst of uncertainty.  

Holy God, please act.  We trust you.  We believe that you are on the scene and are working out the details to end the senseless war.  Our faith is in you.  Please reveal your plans for the Ukrainian people.  Please end the bloodshed, now.  Please don't delay to stop a mad man in his tracks so that the war will end. 

Please Father, protect Ukraine.  Stop the war.  Change Putin's heart.  Heal a broken nation!

In Jesus Name!
