Pray with the global church

God of All Comfort and Justice, we bring before You the grieving communities of Bin Mper in Mangu County, where violence has shattered lives once more. You see the tears of the mourning and hold their cries in Your heart. Rise up to protect the vulnerable and to bring an end to the cycle of violence that stalks Plateau State. Strengthen the believers who remain, that they may be as a city set on a hill, shining Your light in the darkness. Reveal Jesus to those who instigate violence, that their hearts may turn from hate to love. Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard the hearts and minds of Your people in Christ Jesus. To You, O Lord, belong glory and honor, now and forever. Amen.
