As students in Ghana, we might not be able to do much in terms of directly helping the Nigerian government recover the kidnapped school girls. As Christians though, we can do our part by calling on the heavenly ‘forces’ and lifting up their plight in our prayers.
Pray for the girls, pray for their kidnappers (yes, they need our prayers too!), pray for those involved in rescue operations, pray for governments to do something concrete to help Nigeria.
Pray for the WORLD. It may sound cliche to some, but we believe that prayer is power, and can work miracles and move mountains.
Of course, with prayer comes action too. In your own way, help spread the word about the Nigerian schoolgirls’ plight.
Use the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls in your social media posts about them. Support groups and organizations that fight against the discrimination and abuse of women/girls, as well as groups and organizations that seek to provide education to females of all ages and races.
Hold prayer gatherings just to intercede for the girls. In the end, the little we do may not seem much, but in the eyes of our Lord, it will make a difference.
