Prayer for Chibok girls three years into their captivity

http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/14/africa/chibok-girls-three-years-on/index.html
Lord, today we pray again for the Chibok girls who were kidnapped from their school three years ago. We do not want to forget them, despite their three years in captivity. Please, Lord, protect these girls’ minds and bodies. May their captors view them with favor and desire the best for them. May they be compelled to free these young women. We pray for the Nigerian government to successfully negotiate for their release. Please sustain the parents as they continue their agonizing wait. Lord, we want to see a miracle in this situation. And we pray even now for psychological wounds to begin to heal. Prepare these girls even now for both spiritual and literal freedom. Please, Lord, bring back these girls. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.

  1. I am not sure how I did not see this before, but I find this very encouraging: https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2017/08/28/Boko-Haram-leader-confesses-to-Chibok-abductions-surrenders/1451503945363/?st_rec=6541515169598. Let us keep praying that these terrorists begin to see clearly, even if it's terrible conditions that compel them to this.
