Weeks after the government nullified the legal amendment, the Islamabad High Court adopted strict requirements for the declaration of religious affiliation when applying for government jobs and filing identity documents. The decision amended existing statutes to create a controversial focus on a "faith affidavit." Many have spoken out against this new rule, stating that it paves the way for religious persecution at the state level.
- Pray for believers to have peace and boldness in speaking the truth in the face of unfair laws.
- Pray for Christians to be recognized by non-believers as those who have the presence of God.
- Pray for God's intervention in the writing of Pakistani laws.
