Pray with the global church

Lord of Hosts, we lift before You the nation of Nigeria as it mourns those lost to violence in Plateau, Benue, Niger, Adamawa, Taraba, and Imo. Darkness and fear have spread through these regions, leaving families shattered and communities trembling. Yet You are a refuge for the oppressed and a stronghold in times of trouble. Deliver those held captive and sustain the weary souls who cry out for Your salvation. Restrain the hands bent on destruction and reveal Jesus to perpetrators so that their hearts may turn toward peace. Uphold the church across Nigeria. Grant them boldness to continue proclaiming Your name amidst peril. Let Your light shine forth in this land for Your glory and kingdom. Amen.
