Pray with the global church

God of Truth, we lift up the troubled lands of Nigeria where violence has struck down innocent lives. In Plateau State, Your people mourn under threats and sorrow. You are the refuge for the oppressed — let them find safety under Your wings. Guard those who suffer in fear and confusion, and sustain the church as they gather to worship even under the shadow of death. Visit those who plot evil in their hearts; reveal Jesus to militants, to leaders, and to neighbors watching from a distance. Let justice flow like a river across Nigeria, breaking every chain of hatred and revenge. Establish Your peace in these communities, for You are near to all who call on You in truth. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, we ask it. Amen.
