Pray with the global church

Lord of Hosts, we bring before You the plight of Nigeria's Christian farmers facing intimidation and threats. Fields meant for harvest are targets of destruction, and livelihoods hang in the balance. You are a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble — guard these communities from those who seek to harm them. Disrupt every scheme meant to starve and weaken Your people. Let the truth of Christ illuminate hearts even among those plotting violence, and meet them as You met Saul on his road to Damascus. Draw near to those enduring fear, granting them peace beyond what their eyes can see. Establish Your kingdom here in justice and righteousness. Let faith rise among believers, and let their testimony shine brightly in Nigeria for Your glory. In Christ's name we ask this. Amen.
