Pray with the global church

God of Refuge, we lift up the believers in Imo State, where Fulani militants have abducted seven, including a four-month-old baby. As Hagar found You to be the God who sees, may these families know Your presence in their distress. Uphold them with Your righteous hand and deliver them from the hand of those who pursue evil. Reveal Jesus to the abductors, and transform hearts that now harbor violence. Let justice roll on like a river, bringing peace to communities long troubled by insecurity. Sustain the faith of believers in Imo State, and let Your light shine in the darkness, guiding the lost to the hope found only in You. For the glory of Your name and in the strength of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.
