Pray with the global church

Defender and Protector, we bring before You the state of Kaduna, where families live under the shadow of kidnappings and unequal aid. Guard Your people with peace that passes all understanding, especially the Christian communities that feel abandoned in their suffering. Heal their hearts and mend the fractures caused by fear and despair. Reveal Jesus to both victims and perpetrators in Kaduna, that they might see His love even in their darkest hour. Turn the hearts of leaders toward justice and mercy, removing favoritism so that relief may reach every family affected. We look to You as our stronghold and refuge, trusting that even when we walk through valleys overshadowed by fear, Your goodness pursues us. To You belongs all strength and wisdom; it is in Christ's name we pray. Amen.
