Pray with the global church

God of Justice and Peace, we bring before You the monastery in Ukraine's Donetsk region, where violence has shattered lives and taken one of Your servants. You see the suffering of Your people and have promised to be near to the brokenhearted. Strengthen those who remain, that they might endure for the sake of Jesus' name and not grow weary or lose heart. Turn the eyes of all who witnessed this attack toward Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. Reveal His peace and truth to those who seek answers amid chaos. Establish Your righteousness and let Your presence be a fortress for the believers in Ukraine. We commit these prayers to You, trusting in Your steadfast love. Amen.
