Pray for the COP15 in this year’s international environmental summit in Canada between 7-19 December.

This is the suggested prayer –

Lord, as COP15 begins in Montreal, may your hand be over the delegates and world leaders. Give them strength and lead them by your wisdom to respond in a way which is guided by science and responds appropriately to the scale of the biodiversity crisis. We pray for the state of nature, we grieve for the habitats and species we have already lost and we pray for agreements which protect and restore our precious natural habitats and species. Please help us Lord, to have joined up thinking on biodiversity and climate change.
