Pray with the global church

God of All Comfort, we bring before You the hearts and lives touched by the loss of two young girls in Nigeria. Their short, captive lives ended too soon under the hand of brutality. In this land where darkness seems to prevail, remind Your people that though sorrow may last for a night, joy comes with the morning. Guard those still held in captivity and deliver them from evil. Restore families shattered by violence and let Your peace descend on communities gripped by fear. We ask You to reveal Jesus to those who commit these acts, that they might find mercy and turn away from wickedness. Fill believers across Nigeria with a bold faith that shines as a beacon of hope amidst despair. In Christ’s name we pray, knowing He will make all things new. Amen.
