Pray with the global church

Lord of Hosts, we bring before You the people of Benue, where conflict and accusations have stirred a deep cry for justice. In a land caught between violence and misunderstanding, establish righteousness that is higher than man's thoughts. Defend those who seek to protect their communities, and restrain any hand lifted in anger. Let the eyes of military leaders and local guards be opened to truth, that they might see beyond earthly conflicts. Reveal Jesus as the Prince of Peace across this region, bringing true reconciliation where strife has taken root. Your name is near to all who call upon it — let it be known in Benue. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
