Lord, today our
thoughts and prayers turn toward Nigeria, the country where hundreds of Chibok
girls were kidnapped by Boko Haram over three years ago. First, Lord, we pray
yet again for these missing girls. We are thankful for the almost 100 who have
been located, but we pray for the almost 200 who are still missing. We want
these girls returned to their families. Please continue to watch over them.
But, Lord, these girls are the tip of the iceberg in Nigeria. Boko Haram
terrorists have killed and harmed countless more. We are thankful President
Muhammadu Buhari has led the military in successful campaigns against Boko
Haram. May this continue to be the case. Yet, Lord, we pray for the government
to also turn its attention to the persecution coming from Hausa-Fulani Muslim
herdsmen in the Middle Belt region. These herdsmen continue to kill and
persecute Christians in their region, with little done to stop them. Please
bring this wickedness to light and compel influential people to do something to
halt the persecution. We are thankful that Christianity does flourish alongside
Islam in this nation. May your children in Nigeria reflect you well, growing
deep roots in you that will hold them fast when times of persecution come. We
pray this in Jesus' powerful name, amen.
