Pray with the global church

God of Justice and Defender of the oppressed, we lift to You the minority girls across the world who suffer the injustices of child marriage and forced religious conversions. You see their affliction, and Your heart is moved by their cries. Establish justice in the corridors of power and let righteousness flow like a never-failing stream. Strengthen advocates and leaders in the European Union and beyond to act with wisdom and courage. Reveal Jesus as the true liberator to those trapped in cycles of injustice and to those who perpetrate these wrongs. May hearts be turned to Your ways of peace and truth, and may the oppressed find refuge under Your wings. For the glory of Your name, Amen.
