Pray with the global church

God of Truth, we bring before You the church in Nigeria's Middle Belt, surrounded by violence and betrayal. Sustain the believers who stand firm under threat, knowing that those who trust in You will never be shaken. Let them be steadfast in faith and courageous in love, reflecting Your kingdom among their persecutors. Pour out godly sorrow on the jihadists driving this bloodshed, turning their hearts toward repentance that leads to salvation without regret. Confront the wealthy churches with Your Word — call them to buy gold refined by fire, so they may truly be rich, and open their eyes to see what is real. Reveal Jesus to all who are blind to His grace — the attackers, the churches in their silence, and the watching nation. Establish Your truth in Nigeria, for only then will peace rise like a river. In Christ's name we ask this. Amen.
