Welcome to St. Timothy's, Agincourt!

Almighty God,

You are the Ruler of Nations and provide comfort to the afflicted.

We lift our hearts to You in formal petition for the land and people of Ukraine during this time of continued deep suffering. We ask that You stretch forth Your hand to grant protection over their cities and urban centers, shielding families and innocent civilians from the terror of ongoing aerial bombardments and ballistic missile attacks.

In Your infinite mercy, bring profound comfort to those who are grieving and traumatized. Draw near to the brokenhearted, especially the children who have been injured or orphaned, and heal the deep wounds of this sudden devastation.

We pray for the sovereign shielding of first responders, medical teams, and emergency personnel. Protect them from the cruelty of repeated attacks as they risk their lives to rescue others, and sustain them against exhaustion.

Lord, we ask for the swift restoration of vital resources. Rebuild the shattered distribution networks, open paths for essential food and medical aid, and ensure that no family is left to face hunger or deprivation.

Finally, endow national, local, and international leaders with exceptional wisdom and strength. Grant them discernment to navigate this crisis, unity to support their communities, and the endurance required to lead their people toward safety and enduring peace.

Amen.
