Pray with the global church

God of All Comfort, we bring before You the steadfast believers in Nigeria who continue to shine as witnesses amid persecution and violence. Sustain their courage as they stand firm in their faith, and let their light shine brightly in the darkness, drawing many to the hope found in You. Reveal Jesus to those who persecute them, and let their suffering bear witness to Your grace and truth. Strengthen the Church in Nigeria as they endure trials, and let the wider world see their perseverance and be inspired to a deeper faith. May the courage of these believers speak into Western societies, awakening a fresh zeal for Your Kingdom. May Your peace, which surpasses understanding, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. We entrust them to Your care, for Your glory and their growth in grace. Amen.
