Prayer for Ukraine
March 10,2022 @ 12:00 pm - 12:30 pm CST
Beloved Sisters and Brothers,
The people of Ukraine are suffering through extaordinary hardships due to the invasion of their sovereign homeland by a foreign power, in this case, Russia. People the world over are sending money, supplies, good wishes and even armaments–all of which represent an out-pouring of love and support. Others are protesting the actions of the Russian aggression against a neighboring country which stands in opposition to Russia’s plans and geo-political aspirations. Those demonstrations are undoubtedly motivated by genuine concern, frustration and even disgust over the actions of an aggressor nation.
Above all else, in addition to all the above expressions of support and concern, there is an urgent need for prayer. To that end, this is an open invitation to sisters and brothers everywhere to join us in a time for unified prayer, designated to lift up the people of Ukraine to God in prayer, asking for His mercy, comfort, protection, and blessings to get through this ordeal, and asking God to bring this turmoil, destruction and loss to a merciful end.
If you would like to join us in prayer, please join us by phone for a time of collective prayer for the people of Ukraine [see access information below] at NOON on Thursday, March 10th. That is 2 weeks after the invasion began; NOON Central Time is 8:00 PM in Kviv–so we are offering this up as an evening prayer for help in their time of desparate need. The organized time of PRAYER will last for approximately 30 minutes, depending upon the length of our expressions of prayers during the call.
IF you prefer NOT to phone in, we invite you to find a quiet place in your home or where you are at that designated time, and speak to God with your own prayers — still a part of our time in prayer together as concerned sisters and brothers.
Our prayers will be focused on asking for God’s guidance, love and mercy for the people of Ukraine. This will not be a time to call out Russia or their leadership, or to vilify individuals responsible for these actions. God will deal with them in His time and in His way. Our prayers are motivated by Christian LOVE, and will be expressed accordingly.
To JOIN us for PRAYER-BY-PHONE, dial 1 (313) 209-8800; when prompted, enter the Conference ID 420-047-630; then touch # when prompted to do so.
