Pray with the global church

God of Justice and Deliverance, we lift up Nicaragua and Bishop Abelardo Mata, who remains missing amidst growing concerns. You see all hidden things and hold every heart in Your hand. Shine Your light into the shadows where truth has been suppressed, and bring justice to those who cry out for righteousness. Guard the hearts of believers in Nicaragua, that they may not grow weary or faint under oppression. Reveal Jesus to the leaders of this nation and those who have power to act, that they might turn from darkness to light. Establish Your peace in Nicaragua, and let Your justice roll down like waters. We trust in Your unfailing love and wait upon Your deliverance through Christ our Lord. Amen.
