More than four months after her mother Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her Tucson, Arizona home, "Today" co-host Savannah Guthrie continues to lean on her faith - and is asking others to do the same.

Nancy, 84, was last seen on January 31 and was reported missing after she failed to show up for church the next morning. The Pima County Sheriff's Department continues to investigate her disappearance, though no suspect has been identified.

Throughout the difficult months, Savannah has repeatedly turned to faith publicly. In one emotional video shared around Mother's Day, she said, "We know that so many people have been praying for her return, and we feel those prayers. Please keep praying without ceasing. We still believe in a miracle. We still believe that she can come home." 

Earlier in the search, Savannah posted an image of a religious painting with the simple words "I believe, I believe" - a post that drew an outpouring of support from fans and colleagues, including fellow "Today" co-host Carson Daly.

A family friend who helped organize a community prayer vigil described the Guthries as "a very revered family" in Tucson, adding that both Nancy and Savannah have been "positive contributors and very faithful women." 

A combined reward of $1.2 million remains available for anyone with information. Contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or submit a tip at tips.fbi.gov.

As the search continues, faith remains at the center of the Guthrie family's hope - a reminder that even in the darkest uncertainty, many continue to hold onto prayer.
