Pray with the global church

Savior, we bring before You the people of Benue State, stranded by years of suffering and left hungry amidst violence. In their cries for liberation, hear their plea as You heard Israel's in Egypt. Make a way where there seems to be no way, and provide safety and sustenance for these communities. Reveal Jesus to those who persecute them, that His light might penetrate darkness and transform hearts hardened against Your name. Guard the faith of believers in Benue, even as they walk through the valley of the shadow. Pour out Your Spirit upon this land, bringing peace and justice where chaos and injustice have reigned. In Your hands we commit these lives, trusting in Your promise to never leave or forsake. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
