Pray with the global church

Shepherd, we lift up Plateau State and Southern Kaduna where armed groups bring fear and uncertainty. You see the turmoil and hear the cries of the innocent; in Your might, guard those who are vulnerable, and place Your hand of protection over these communities. Speak peace into this unrest, Lord — silence the strife and let no weapon fashioned against Your people prevail. Reveal Jesus to those instigating violence, just as You met Saul on the road to Damascus. Raise up local believers to be vessels of Your peace and strength amidst this tension. Let Your justice roll down like waters, renewing hope in these lands. We trust in Your name, our strong tower and refuge forever. Amen.
