Daily Prayer - April 21, 2022

On this day in 2019 a comedian, Volodymyr Zelensky, was elected President of Ukraine.  

I doubt that many anticipated that a few years later he would be showing such leadership in his country’s resistance to the Russian invasion.  

Almost two months after the war started the battle is now concentrated in Eastern Ukraine.

However, other cities around the country continue to be targeted by missiles. 

 

Lord,

we again ask your blessing on the people of Ukraine.

The war shows no sign of ending and peace talks constantly falter.  

Be with those who are enduring constant bombardment and all the other traumas that war brings.

Sustain those entrusted with leadership in these difficult times and guide those working to bring this war to an end.

Amen
