[Today’s Prayer] Lord, set free those who are trapped and oppressed in North Korea.
Many of the prisoners held in political labor camps, including Yodok in South Hamgyong Province, are believed to be Christians who believe in Jesus. They endure harsh punishments and intense labor. Even those outside the camps do not live without suffering. They too face severe censorship from the Ministry of State Security, making it difficult to breathe. They express that life is now twenty times harder than during Kim Jong Il’s time. We pray for the oppressed in North Korea to be set free.
“He heard the groans of the prisoners and released those condemned to death. So the name of the LORD will be declared in Zion and his praise in Jerusalem, when the peoples and the kingdoms assemble to worship the LORD.” Psalm 102:20-22 (Korean Bible, North Korean version). We pray for the freedom of those imprisoned in the six political labor camps, including Yodok in South Hamgyong Province. We ask You to govern the North Korean authorities who have enacted the three major evil laws, such as the Law on Rejecting Reactionary Ideology and Culture, and punish them with heavy sentences, making it so difficult to even breathe due to their censorship and punishment. Set free all North Korean residents who tremble in fear.
We declare this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
