Pray with the global church

Faithful Shepherd, we praise You for Your steadfast love and for this breakthrough in Iraq, where the highest court has recognized a woman's Christian faith. You are the God who gives strength to Your people and blesses them with peace. May this ruling mark the beginning of new religious freedom and change throughout Iraq, lifting barriers and opening hearts.

Strengthen believers in Iraq to stand firm in faith and let their light shine brightly before all. Establish Your kingdom in this land, for the glory of Your name and the blessing of Your people. Amen.
