Lord, today we pray for North Korea, which tops the World
Watch List for persecution yet again. Our hearts are heavy for Christians
languishing in prisons and labor camps, enduring torture and starvation,
wondering about the well-being of their families. Their loads are so heavy, yet
we know you see them. We thank you for your Holy Spirit, who cries out on their
behalf from both our hearts and theirs. We pray for those believers who are “free”
in North Korea, yet living under relentless pressure in every facet of life:
home, work, community, church. May they experience your joy and hope, despite
feeling under constant surveillance. Heavenly Father, we pray for the nation of North Korea to be freed from tyranny. May North Koreans be able to think, act and
worship as they deem best. And, Lord, we pray that the extra exposure provided
by the Olympics in neighboring South Korea will prompt people around the world
to pray and act on behalf of the oppressed in North Korea. In Jesus’ powerful
name we pray, amen.
