Sovereign Lord, we lift before You the people of Borno State, where 360 captives have been freed from Boko Haram's grasp. You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble, and we thank You for their deliverance. Guard these women and children as they return to their communities, and let healing flow where trauma has left its mark. Reveal Jesus to those who have yet to know His peace, including the extremists who hold others in fear. Let Your light shine in the darkness of Borno, dispelling the shadow of violence and bringing new life. Strengthen Your church in Nigeria to be a beacon of hope and reconciliation in every village and town. To You belong deliverance, mercy, and eternal glory through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
