The country is undergoing a full-scale Russian invasion, and we need all the strength and motivation to continue the struggle and work. Some use affirmations, some meditate, and some pray.
Prayer is a great way to regain resources and feel extra support from God. If this is for you – read our article with the strongest prayers during the war.
Prayer against the invasion of enemies on our country
Lord God of strength, God of our salvation, You alone work miracles. Look in mercy and bounty on the humility of Your servants and listen to us with mercy and have mercy on us: for our enemies have gathered against us to destroy us and destroy our state and our sanctuary. Help us, God, our Savior, and deliver us for the glory of Your name, and may the words of Moses be added to us: Be of good cheer, stand fast and see salvation from the Lord, for the Lord will prevail over us.
Yes, Lord God our Savior, do not remember the iniquities and iniquities of Your people and do not turn away from us with Your wrath, but in Your mercy and bounty visit Your humble servants who belong to Your mercy: rise up to help us and give to our army to win in your name. Destroy the intentions and unjust courage of those who go to war against us.
We pray to You, Lord of our peace and tranquility, that as the smoke disappears, so may our enemies disappear, and as the dust falls from the face of the wind, so may their evil thoughts dissipate our Ukrainian state. O Lord, keep quiet those who oppose Your commandments and ordinances. Restore to them the memory of Your commandment: Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. And for those who oppose this commandment of yours, send wrath, sorrow, and angels of fury, who will instill in them fear and the memory of what they call themselves Christians.
May the Lord be Your will over us, and if Your Providence is such as to lay down our lives for our soldiers in the battle for Faith and Ukraine, forgive them their sins, and on the day of Your righteous Judgment give the crown of immortality. But we believe and pray to You, the Most Gifted, Lord, that You will protect, calm down and warn and bring everyone to peace.
For You are the protection and the victory and the salvation, for those who hope in You and to You we send glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and forever and ever. Amen!
