Pray with the global church

Lord of Hosts, we bring before You the situation in Nigeria, where new legislation threatens to hinder the documentation of persecution. You see the plans of men and nothing is hidden from Your sight. Establish Your truth in Nigeria and dismantle barriers that seek to silence it. Protect those who work tirelessly to report on persecution and those who depend on this information for advocacy. Grant them courage and wisdom as they navigate these challenges, and let their efforts not be in vain. Reveal Jesus to government officials, lawmakers, and those resisting the light. Let hearts be turned toward justice and righteousness. In Your hands are the hearts of leaders; guide them as streams of water for Your purpose. We trust in Your sovereign will through Christ our Lord. Amen.
