16 OUR LIFE • July-August 2024 ЗАХИЩАЄМО • ADVOCATE Dear God, Let our prayer be a ray of light and salva- tion for Ukrainian children killed by russian guns and missiles. Let our prayer bring sunshine and hope for all the children kidnapped by russia and forced to live with strangers and have their identity erased. Let our prayer bring warmth and grace to all the children who have lost their parents, their brothers and sisters, their homes, and seen their world destroyed. Let our prayer bring friendship and love to the children forced to leave their coun - try and make new lives in foreign places, so they know that we, their brothers and sis - ters in the United States, stand with them, love them, and support them with all our hearts and souls. God, please calm and comfort all of Ukraine’s children affected by this war. Help their parents to protect their families. We pray to you today, to be with the chil - dren, understand their pain, protect them so they will not be hurt, especially at sun - down, when their terror-filled skies turn even scarier and darker. Help them find sleep through the dark night hours. May they know you are there. Help them find a safe place where they are not afraid. Dear God, defend the weak and the fa- therless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked. So many kids must be so scared right now. Take away their fear and bring peace to their hearts. Let them know that You watch over them day and night. When they sleep and when they are awake. Lord, please protect the vulnerable chil - dren of Ukraine, protect their families, and restore them to their homes and cities so that they do not feel abandoned and forgotten. Instill in them the belief that they will be safely returned to their fami- lies, home and country. End this war Dear God, and bring justice to those who have suffered so greatly because of this deadly invasion. We just want to have peace, so kids can play and go to school and be hap - py with their families. Please God, change the hearts of those who cause suffering, and bring an end to this violence.
