Pray with the global church

Father of all, we lift up the people of Nigeria where abductions and violence have risen sharply. In a land weary with fear and uncertainty, be the rock and salvation for families torn apart by these acts. You alone are a refuge — may those taken find strength and hope in Your presence, and may those who grieve know Your comfort. Reveal Jesus, the Prince of Peace, to the perpetrators and witnesses of these crimes, turning hearts from darkness to light. Sustain the church in Nigeria, that they may stand firm in truth and love, bearing witness to Your kingdom in the face of adversity. For Your steadfast love and faithfulness reach to the heavens. We trust You to act for the glory of Your name. Amen.
