Pray with the global church

God our Healer, the One who sees, we lift up Casilda Eliash and the community in northern Mozambique. You know the deep wounds of spirit, soul, and body, and Your hand alone can bring true restoration. Heal the brokenness left by al-Shabab's attack, and shelter Casilda as she continues to recover. May Your light shine in the darkness that once overshadowed her path, and let her testimony of deliverance point others to Your saving grace. Reveal Jesus to those who took her captive, and turn their hearts toward repentance and truth. Sustain the believers in this region with Your peace, and let their faith be a beacon of hope to all who are watching. In the name of Jesus, our Redeemer, Amen.
