Pray with the global church

God of justice and compassion, we bring before You the Christian villages in Plateau State, Nigeria, where violence has shattered lives and communities. You are near to the brokenhearted and save those crushed in spirit. Comfort the grieving families and bring healing to the wounded hearts. Establish Your peace where destruction has reigned, and dismantle the schemes of those who perpetrate violence. Reveal Jesus to the attackers, the soldiers who stood by, and all who witness this suffering, that they might come to know the Prince of Peace. Strengthen the church in Nigeria to stand firm in faith, hope, and love, and let the light of Your Kingdom shine in the darkest places. For the glory of Your name, we trust in Your righteous and compassionate hands. Amen.
