Pray with the global church

Lord of Hosts, we bring before You the suffering in Taraba, Zamfara, Kaduna, Niger, and Benue States where violence has claimed lives and shattered homes. You see each one taken and hear the cries of those left behind; incline Your ear to their mourning. Establish Your peace in these regions where fear reigns. Guard the believers who remain steadfast amid threats, and sustain those who have been abducted, granting them endurance. Raise up voices of truth and compassion among local leaders who might turn hearts towards justice. Reveal Jesus to the bandits who know only violence. Let Your light break through the darkest places as a testimony that no evil can quench it. We look to You for protection and restoration in Nigeria, trusting in Your mighty power. In Christ's name, Amen.
