Pray with the global church

God of All Comfort, we lift before You the families in southern Kaduna State as they mourn the loss of a young girl just released from captivity. You are near to the brokenhearted and save those crushed in spirit. Guard these communities with Your presence as they face fear and uncertainty. Bring hope and healing where trauma has left deep scars, and let Your light break through the darkness that covers this land. Deliver those still held captive, sustain the believers in Nigeria with strength to endure, and open the eyes of those who persecute to the mercy found in Jesus Christ. For the sake of Your Kingdom and glory, Amen.
