Prayer for Eastern Christians
FACE’s Prayer for Eastern Christians
Heavenly Father, we pray today for peace in the world, especially in the Middle East and Ukraine, and in all places where there is conflict.
By Your grace, O Lord, strengthen the faith and hope of all Eastern Christians, so that they may be blessed with peace and prosperity in their homelands.
May we be inspired by their devotion and witness to the Gospel, by their love and compassion for all in their communities, and by their courage and endurance in the face of injustice and oppression.
By Your heavenly grace, O Lord, help us to follow their example, so that we may bear witness to our faith with joy and fortitude; and through their gifts of faith, hope and charity, bring peace and reconciliation to their troubled lands, where Christianity was born and first spread.
We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
