The Methodist Church in Ireland is calling on all Irish Methodists to pray for the crisis in Ukraine. 

Creator God,
we offer you our prayers for the peace of your world.

For the well-being and safety of our sisters and brothers in the Ukraine and in Russia:
We pray in the name of the Prince of Peace.

For wisdom for those who hold power, that they might work together for the good of all people:
We pray in the name of the Prince of Peace.

For those who are or will become displaced because of conflict and for those who offer welcome and sanctuary:
We pray in the name of the Prince of Peace.

For peace in our own lives, families and churches,
that we might offer justice, dignity and love for all:
We pray in the name of the Prince of Peace.

Gracious God,
Hear our prayers.
In the name of Jesus Christ,
The Prince of Peace.
Amen.
