The Methodist Church has issued a special prayer for North Korea after the death of its leader Kim Jong-il.
 
The reclusive dictator died of a heart attack or stroke on Saturday at the age of 69. The official Korea Central News Agency (KCNA) has called his third son, Kim Jong-un, the “great successor”.
 
Steve Pearce, World Church Partnership Coordinator for the Methodist Church said in a statement: "The Methodist Church in Britain offers its prayers and support to its brothers and sisters in the whole of Korea today on the news of the death of Kim Jong-il.
 
“We pray especially for our partners the National Council of Churches in Korea and the Korean Methodist Church as they offer leadership at this difficult time.

The Methodist Church's Prayer for North Korea in full:

Creator God,
 
You love the people of this world with tenderness and care.
 We pray that the people of the Korean peninsula may feel your love at this time of fear and uncertainty.
 
As we prepare to celebrate your coming among us as a vulnerable child, help us as we seek ways to tend the fragile flower of peace in your world.
 
May our Christian solidarity with our sisters and brothers in Korea be a continuing and mutual source of strength.
 
We pray in Jesus' name,
 
Amen.
