Pray with the global church

God of Justice and Refuge, we stand with the communities of northern Nigeria where violence and abduction have struck deep fear and grief. The land groans under the weight of bloodshed, and many seek refuge from relentless attacks. You are a shield for those in distress and a stronghold in times of trouble — let Your protection be near to the civilians and officers caught in the crossfire. Reveal Jesus as the Light that shines in the darkness, to the attackers and those living in terror. Comfort those who mourn, and let Your peace dismantle every plan of violence. Establish righteousness across these regions, and let Your justice roll down like waters. For the sake of Your name and kingdom we pray, in the name of Jesus, our Savior. Amen.
