Pray with the global church

Father of time and creation, we lift up the believers in Nigeria who live under the shadow of relentless violence. You are the One who holds eternity in His hands; not a single sparrow falls without Your knowledge. Comfort those who mourn and strengthen those who remain to carry Your name in places darkened by fear. Rise up, Lord, against the forces that aim to silence Your Church. May Your light break through every shadow, illuminating paths of peace and revealing Jesus to those who have yet to know Him. Touch the hearts of those pursuing violence and deliver them from the grip of hatred. Let justice flow like a river across this land, and give courage to believers as they stand firm in faith. For the glory of Your unending dominion, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
