Pray with the global church

God of Mercy, we bring before You the young woman who has emerged from captivity in the Sambisa Forest, carrying the scars of forced marriages. You see her affliction and hear her cries — may Your compassion hold her as she finds a way forward from this pain. Restore her soul and let her know the truth that sets captives free. Reveal Jesus to those who oppressed her, and to all still trapped in Boko Haram's grip. Scatter their plans and bring justice. Strengthen the church in Maiduguri to be a place of refuge and healing, standing firm in Your love. For the sake of Your name, pour out hope and redemption across Nigeria. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
