LET US PRAY: Pastor Bryon Kaiser wrote this prayer in reference to the Ukraine war: “Dear Jesus, please protect my brothers and sisters who stand on the front lines of liberty in my place. Jesus, hold those who lay down their lives close to your heart. Jesus, forgive me, forgive us, forgive us humans who call on our dark natures and destroy rather than build. If my brothers and sisters die in the cause to which they are called, please gather them in the arms of your mercy. Let their sacrifice not be in vain. Bring us to a higher level of liberty and to a higher knowledge of the sacred sacrifice of life. Let us be resolved and stand firm but do not let us lose our humanity, our kindness, and your grace. Amen.”
