Pray with the global church

God of Justice and Mercy, we bring before You the land of Nigeria, where violence has claimed the lives of many in Kaduna. You see the blood of the innocent and hear the cries of those who mourn. Establish Your peace in this troubled region and comfort the families who have lost loved ones. Restrain those who seek to do harm, and reveal the truth that sets captives free to those in authority. Raise up leaders who walk in justice and righteousness, and let the light of Christ shine in the hearts of the perpetrators, turning them from darkness to light. Strengthen Your Church in Nigeria, that it may be a beacon of hope and reconciliation. For the sake of Your great name, we trust in Your faithfulness and justice. Amen.
