I find that the quotes of war Generals of times past are often the best prayers for peace. General MacArthur said many brutal things about brutal war. And, he also said this:

“The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.”
General Douglas MacArthur
