World Day of Prayer is a global ecumenical movement led by Christian women who welcome you to join in prayer and action for peace and justice, inspired by the motto “Informed Prayer and Prayerful Action.” The movement follows the example of Jesus Christ, who prayed from a place of knowledge and care for the world, and who acted from a place of prayer and connection to God.
The 2026 World Day of Prayer materials from Nigeria bring us a powerful invitation drawn from Matthew 11:28-30. At a time when people worldwide are carrying heavy burdens, our Nigerian sisters offer profound insights into finding rest in God.
