Pray with the global church

Redeemer, we lift up northern Mozambique in the wake of brutal attacks, where violence has taken lives and left communities in fear. In the face of this darkness, sustain the believers who mourn, for You are near to the brokenhearted. Shield them under Your wings, for You alone are a refuge for those who trust in Your name. Reveal Jesus to those who commit these acts of terror, and soften hearts bent on violence, that they might encounter Your transforming love. Empower Your church to stand firm as light in the darkness, declaring Your glory even amidst deep sorrow. In this land so torn by unrest, may the peace of Christ rule in hearts and homes. We pray this trusting in Your unshakeable dominion through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
