Pray with the global church

God of All Comfort, we bring before You the pain of Mary in Kaduna as she faces abandonment after enduring abduction. Her tears are not hidden from You, for You bottle every one. She has walked through fire and flood, yet Your promise remains: You are with her. Establish protection around Mary and deliver her from the grasp of those who seek to harm. Surround her with believers who can offer strength and support. Reveal Jesus to her husband and all who have witnessed her trials, that they might turn and find peace in Him. Restore what has been taken, not only in body but in heart and spirit. To Your hands we commit her future, trusting that Your mercies never end. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
