Scripture: Psalm 10:17-18
"O Lord, Thou hast heard the desire of the humble; Thou wilt strengthen their heart, Thou wilt incline Thine ear to vindicate the orphan and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may cause terror no more."
Commentary:
In the midst of violence against vulnerable people gathering to pray, the psalmist’s assurance that God sees and will respond to the terrorized has real weight. People in regions like northern Nigeria often feel exposed and desperate for protection when even houses of worship are not safe. There’s a heavy cost to ongoing attacks on civilians.

Prophetic Trend:
Escalating attacks in northern Nigeria show the persistent rise of targeted violence against civilians by militant groups in a deeply unstable landscape.
