Pray with the global church

God of All Comfort, we lift up Aicha and the believers in Burkina Faso. This young girl has already faced much for Your name, yet she stands firm. Wrap her in Your comfort that she might not feel alone, and give her courage beyond her years. Protect the faith of all children who follow You there, and let them find strength and joy in Your presence. Reveal Jesus to those who oppose the Gospel; soften their hearts and turn many to seek truth. Establish Your kingdom among families and communities, bringing peace where violence has ruled. Through Christ who suffered for us, Amen.
