Pray with the global church

God of Peace and Reconciling Love, we lift up the Christian women of Nigeria who are building bridges between divided communities. You have promised that peacemakers will be called Your children—strengthen their courage as they seek dialogue and understanding where distrust has long reigned. Bless their efforts to sow seeds of peace and unity, and let righteousness and peace kiss each other in their midst. Reveal Jesus to the Muslim communities they engage, and open hearts to the message of reconciliation. Guard these women with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and let their work bear fruit that brings glory to Your name. May Your Kingdom come in Nigeria, through the Prince of Peace, Amen.
