Pray with the global church

Everlasting God, we lift up the family and community of Hasana Bulus, mourning her death after months in captivity. Draw near to those who are grieving, bringing comfort and hope beyond this world. You promised to bind up the brokenhearted and proclaim freedom for captives—let these words take root in Nigeria. Reveal Jesus to the Fulani extremists as the only name that brings true peace and reconciliation. Turn their hearts from violence and let them see Your love that surpasses all understanding. Guard the released survivors, protect them from further harm, and embolden the church in Nigeria to stand firm in faith, trusting in Your everlasting arms. For Your name's sake and by Your grace, we pray. Amen.
