Pray with the global church

God of Truth, we bring before You the people of Nigeria, especially those wrestling with violence and the longing for justice. Where fear and uncertainty arise, reveal Jesus as the One who embodies both mercy and truth, bringing light to every dark place. Pour out Your Spirit of Wisdom on leaders and authorities in this land. Let them be surrounded by wise counsel, discerning the paths of justice and mercy through Your Spirit. May Your Word dwell richly among believers in Nigeria, giving them strength to forgive yet not ignore injustice. Deliver captives from fear and guide those who seek revenge to find peace at the cross. We place all hope in Your eternal reign, which is full of grace and truth, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
