God of All Comfort, we lift up the families in Borno State, whose children remain missing after 100 days. You are near to the brokenhearted and save those crushed in spirit — draw close to these parents who cry out for their children's return. Strengthen their hearts with hope and endurance as they wait for news. Reveal Jesus to the captors and those in power, that they might turn from darkness to light and release these precious ones. Deliver the children swiftly and safely, and let their return testify to Your faithfulness. Establish peace in this region and let justice roll down like waters. We entrust these families to Your care, for You are our refuge and strength. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
