Heavenly Father, today we celebrate the group of Yazidi women
and children released by the Islamic State to return home to Iraq! After more
than four years in captivity, we rejoice that these survivors have a chance to
heal and to live freely among their own people again. We are thankful for the Kurdistan
Regional Government’s efforts to bring these women and children home.
Lord God, you know what lies ahead for them. You know the trauma they’ve
experienced and the devastating losses to their community, due to ISIS’ genocidal
intentions toward them. Please bring people and resources into their lives to
help them recover and thrive. Draw them close to you. In Jesus’ name we pray,
amen.
