Dear Heavenly Father,
In the name of Jesus, we come before you on behalf of Taeweth and lift up the prayer request concerning the recent Fulani attacks on villages in Taraba State, Nigeria. We pray for the families of those Christians who have lost their lives in these attacks. May they experience Your grace and comfort during this difficult time. Lord, we ask for Your divine protection over the Christian communities in Taraba and throughout Nigeria. Strengthen the church leaders in the area as they pastor and guide those living under the constant threat of raids. Grant them wisdom, courage, and discernment to lead Your people in the midst of adversity.
We also pray for the Nigerian authorities, Lord. May they be more effective in defending and safeguarding the Christian communities in Taraba and across the nation. We ask for justice and peace to prevail, and for the perpetrators of violence to be brought to justice. Lord, we trust in Your sovereignty and pray for Your intervention in this situation.
We give thanks to You, Lord, for the members of the Mayflower Church who have settled well in Texas and are establishing a new life. We pray for job opportunities for them, that they may find meaningful employment to support their families. We also ask for effective schooling for their children, that they may receive a quality education. Lord, we pray for biblical discipleship within the families of Mayflower Church, that they may grow in their faith and be rooted in Your Word.
We lift up all these requests to You, knowing that nothing is impossible for You. We trust in Your faithfulness and ask for Your divine intervention in each situation. May Your name be glorified through the answered prayers. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
