God of Justice and Defender of the Oppressed, we lift up Nigeria and the courageous woman whose faith has been vindicated by the court's protection. You have seen her struggle for dignity and freedom when others sought to constrain her. Let Your truth guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus, and let Your peace rule over fear. Strengthen her and all believers in Nigeria, that they might be steadfast in faith and love. Reveal Jesus to those who persecute and misunderstand, transforming hostility into curiosity and searching hearts. Let the light of Your Gospel shine through every trial and court decision, for the glory of Your name and the advancement of Your kingdom. Amen.
