Pray with the global church

God of Justice and Comfort, we bring before You the people of Plateau State, Nigeria, who face grief and fear after the loss of three believers. You see their tears and hear their cries — be their refuge and strength in this time of trouble. Sustain the faith of the church in Fann village, and let their witness shine brightly amid the darkness. Restrain the hands of those who plot violence, and reveal Jesus to the Fulani herdsmen and all who harbor enmity. May Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard the hearts and minds of both the bereaved and the fearful. Turn mourners into ministers of reconciliation, that Your kingdom may be established in Nigeria. In the name of Jesus, the Light of the World, we pray. Amen.
