Pray with the global church

Lord of Hosts, we lift the widow of Nigeria before You, who stands unshaken in her faith after witnessing unspeakable loss. You are her strength and shield. Embolden her and the delegation as they present their plea for justice — let their voices be heard. Restrain the hand of Boko Haram and other forces that threaten Your people in Africa. Let those who rise against Your name encounter the living Christ as Saul once did on his way to persecute. Strengthen Your Church across Nigeria; make it a refuge for those who mourn and a light to those in darkness. Pour out justice like a mighty river upon this land. We ask this, trusting in the One who rose victorious over death. Amen.
