Pray with the global church

Almighty God, Defender of the oppressed, we bring before You the regions of Kaduna and Plateau in Nigeria, where Your church faces imminent danger from armed militias. You are the refuge for the afflicted and a stronghold in times of trouble. Guard Your people in these areas, let Your peace be their shield, and make their faith unshakable amidst threats. Restrain those who plot violence, and let Your light penetrate the hearts of the attackers, revealing Jesus as Lord and Savior. Strengthen the believers in Kaduna and Plateau, and let their steadfastness in trial testify to Your power and love. We ask this in the name of Jesus, our Deliverer. Amen.
