Pray with the global church

Lord of Hosts, we lift up the community of Ungwan Mato in Kebbi State, Nigeria, where Your children face threats and ultimatum because of their faith. In their trials, let them know that the One who called them is faithful, and He will protect and sustain them through every threat. Strengthen these believers to stand firm in the truth and reveal Jesus to those who oppose Your name. Bind up the wounds of the injured and be a shelter for those living in fear. Let their love and courage testify of Christ's power to save. Break the plans of those who seek violence, and let Your light shine in Kebbi to open eyes blinded by hatred. May Your Kingdom come here as it is in heaven. We entrust this prayer into Your sovereign hands through our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
