Gracious God, who through Your Son made the weak and the rejected strong and whole, we praise You. Look mercifully on all the girl children who are rejected and marginalized, and give them courage and new hope. Help us to receive the girl child as a full member of the community and restore all the honour and respect they deserve. May the talents and potentials You have endowed them with, ower fourth to become essential resources in the community. Help us Lord that we may together be liberated and equipped to use our mutual strengths and weaknesses, gifts and talents,opportunities and limitations, to contribute to the welfare of the whole world; Through Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God, now and forever more.Amen.
