Pray with the global church

God of Justice and Compassion, we lift up the afflicted villages in Niger State where violence and fear have overshadowed worship. You see the suffering of those kidnapped and the anguish of families left behind. Let Your light break through the darkness, guiding captives to safety and comforting grieving hearts. Reveal Jesus to the captors and those who plot violence, that they may turn from their ways and seek peace. Sustain the church in Nigeria with courage and hope, making them a beacon of Your love and truth. May Your justice roll on like a river, bringing righteousness and mercy to this land. In the name of Jesus, our Deliverer, Amen.
