Pray with the global church

Everlasting God, we lift up the people of Southern Kaduna where violence has darkened the land. A man named Magaji Simon Fedelis has been taken by force, and his family waits for justice. You have promised to breathe new life into places of death; let Your Spirit move across this region, raising hope where despair has settled. Reveal Jesus to those blinded by hatred. Transform the hearts of attackers and officials alike with Your light. Comfort the widow, guard the believers there, and let their testimony speak loudly in their communities. Breathe peace into homes torn by fear, that they might know the Prince of Peace is near. We entrust them to Your hands, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
