Pray with the global church

Shepherd, we lift up the Christian mother in Nigeria sentenced to 14 years for sharing her faith. You see her plight and know every fear that tries to take root within the walls of her confinement. Guard her heart with a peace that surpasses understanding, and let her spirit remain unbroken like Paul in prison who praised You amidst chains. Embolden those who stand with her in prayer, and sustain the church in Nigeria as it continues to witness with courage and truth. Unsettle those responsible for this injustice, revealing Jesus to officials and community members alike, drawing even the hardest hearts toward salvation. May Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We trust You to work all things together for good through Jesus our Lord. Amen.
