Though born in North Africa, Soraya has lived in France for nearly two decades. She met her husband in France, raised her children there, and expects to grow old in that country. She is like a mother hen to many women in her neighborhood, caring for them and encouraging them to follow Allah faithfully. Soraya loves others and sacrifices for her family and neighbors, yet her striving to be good and to follow the commands of her religion has been a heavy burden. Her husband recently decided to divorce her, so now she must find work and provide for her children. She feels alone and abandoned. Pray for Soraya to find hope, salvation, and rest in the one true God of the Bible. “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30 ESV).
