Beloved, please don’t let those killed in Nigeria become just another number.

Behind every death is a family.
A father who will not come home.
A mother whose children will not hear her voice again.
A child now growing up without a parent.
A home with an empty chair.

Some went to bed expecting a normal day and woke up to gunshots and grief.
Some widows wonder how to feed their children tomorrow.
Some communities are still burying their loved ones while the world has moved on.

I know these stories can feel far away.
But in Christ we are one body. “If one part suffers, every part suffers with it.” 1 Corinthians 12:26
And Scripture calls us: “Mourn with those who mourn.” Romans 12:15

So today I mourn with them.
And I ask you to mourn with them too.

*Please pray for Nigeria:*
For the widows and orphans.
For the wounded and grieving.
For communities living in fear.
For peace and justice in our land.

To every family that has buried someone: we have not forgotten you.
To every child who has lost a parent: you are not forgotten.

May God comfort the brokenhearted, protect the innocent, and bring peace to Nigeria.
Please remember them in your prayers tonight.
