Pray with the global church

God of All Comfort, we lift the communities of Otukpo and Ukum in Benue State to You, where families grieve deeply after the recent violence. You hear the cries of the brokenhearted and are near to those crushed in spirit. Stand with these families in their pain, and let Your comfort reach into the depths of their sorrow. Reveal Jesus as the Light shining in the darkness, especially to those who walk in fear or hatred. Interrupt the cycle of violence that has claimed lives here, and bring hope to Benue and Niger States. Guard Your people with peace that surpasses understanding, and grant courage to believers who continue to stand firm. We ask all this for Your glory and through Christ our Savior. Amen.
