Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up our dear cousin Andriy who is currently missing and in captivity as a soldier in Ukraine. Lord, we ask for your divine intervention and protection over him. We pray for his safe return to his family who misses him dearly. Comfort his mother, wife, 6-month-old son, and all his family during this difficult time of uncertainty.
Lord, we also lift up all the other soldiers who are in captivity. We pray for their safety, strength, and courage. We ask that you surround them with your love and protection, providing them with hope and a way to be reunited with their loved ones.
Father, we pray for an end to the conflict and violence in Ukraine. We ask for your peace to prevail and for a resolution that brings an end to the suffering and uncertainty that families like Andriy's are experiencing. May your healing touch be upon the land, bringing reconciliation and restoration.
We claim the promise in Romans 8:28 that says, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." We trust in your perfect plan and timing, knowing that you are able to bring good out of every situation.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
