Pray with the global church

Living God, we bring before You the villages of Adamawa state, where recent violence has left fear and loss in its wake. You are close to the brokenhearted; draw near to those who mourn and bind up the wounds of this community. Establish Your peace where terror has struck, and let comfort rise in hearts that feel abandoned. We ask You to reveal Jesus to those who have carried out these attacks — let them encounter the One who turns enemies into brothers. Strengthen believers there with the courage to stand firm, and pour out a spirit of forgiveness that disarms hatred. Let hope take root amidst ashes, for You are our refuge and strength. We entrust these villages to Your care in the name of Christ, Amen.
