God of Truth and Freedom, we thank You for the court's affirmation of this Christian woman's right to be recognized as a follower of Jesus in Iraq. You see the injustice that has been overturned, and we ask You to continue establishing justice in this land. May Your truth set free those who are bound by falsehood and fear. Guard the hearts of believers in Iraq, giving them boldness and peace. Reveal Jesus to those who still live under the weight of imposed identities, and let Your light shine in every dark place. May the name of Jesus be lifted high in Iraq, as You lead many to the knowledge of Your love and grace. In the name of Christ, who sets captives free. Amen.
