Ukrainian soldiers training in Norfolk with the British Army prayed for a just peace as part of a church service with the Bishop of Norwich, on the third anniversary of the invasion of their country.
Loving God, we pray for the people of Ukraine,
for all those suffering or afraid,
that you will be close to them and protect them.
We pray for world leaders,
for compassion, strength and wisdom
to guide their choices. We pray for the world
that in this moment of crisis,
we may reach out in solidarity
to our brothers and sisters in need.
May we walk in your ways so that peace and justice
become a reality for the people of Ukraine
and for all the world. Amen.
