Christian CND (Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament) ask those who seek peace to pray in the following ways:

• Thank God for those around the world who continue to work and pray for peace;
• Pray for our political leaders to have the courage to seek peace and cooperation over war and division;
• Pray for those living in warzones, that they would be protected and comforted;
• Pray for those who are living with the consequences or threat of war;
• Pray that there would be no resumption of nuclear tests and that negotiations on disarmament would instead take place.

You're invited to offer your own silent prayer on this day.
