Still the most hostile country in which to live and practice the Christian faith, there are reports of many Christians arrested, with at least 25 percent of Christians believed to be languishing in labor camps for their refusal to worship founder Kim Il-Sung’s cult. Half the population lives in the north, close to China, where family-based networks of house churches exist in significant numbers. Roughly ten million inhabitants are malnourished, with thousands eating only grass and bark.
Pray:
- For freedom and justice under the new leadership of Kim Jong-Un
- Give thanks for the aid that Open Doors and other Christian NGOs can offer
- For the safety of North Korean Christians escaping to China.
North Korea is on my heart and in my prayers
I pray daily for North Korean Christians and their enemies. May God be merciful.
North Korea had been an agenda in our Prayer Focus as part of the Prayer Ministry’s prayer for the Persecuted Church. God bless to all the Christians there. Our hearts and prayers are with you. We do have also what we call Diaspora ministry whose objective is pray for all the expats and the Missionaries all over the world regardless of nationality.
Lord our God , I’ve just read about our brothers & sisters in North Korea surviving on only grass & bark..oh Lord please mke the grass taste as sweet as a fine steak..Lord nourish their bodies but also nourish their souls with your word & your goodness, oh Lord please provide for them..give them more than they ask or even wish for. Also Lord those of your people languishing in prison, please surround them with your care, keep them from torture, Lord help them to bring glory to your Name. I pray for the North Korean church, I thank you for her. I pray that under the new regime she would have more freedoms. I also commit the Christian fleeing to China to your care, praying that they would be kept safe on the journey & that they would not face further persecution where they go,
In your Holy Name I trust, pleading your promise to hear & answer prayer…
Amen !
Amen!
Yes, Lord, make the grass and bark taste as a fine meal that brings joy, that nourishes their body, but especially nourishes their souls, with Your Word and Your goodness, as Mairi has so beautifully expressed <3 In your precious name, AMEN!!
Agreeing in prayer again on March 19, 2012
Dear Heavenly Father, I come along side in complete agreement with Mairi’s prayer to You! I join with her in her heartfelt request for the North Korean people! Lord, you say that where two or more are gathered in your name, it shall be done. Please provide for them abundantly more than they could ever hope for, and let it be a testimoney of Your complete goodness! I pray for those who would be their captors that they would come to a saving knowledge of You through Your Son, Jesus Christ, and would then help to truly set this nation free! I pray that you would give those who are sacrificing so much for your name the strength and courage to endure and Your glorious peace which surpasses all understanding! Please protect them, Lord! May they be a testimony to the rest of the world that You ARE the one and only true God, and may You be glorified! Amen.
I,m in perfct accord with my sisters mairi and eillen. they prayers are perfect and reflect what i feel and pray .Dear evenly Father we are calling upon you beleiving , and thrusting in your power and your love for our dear brothers and sisters who are soufferimg persecution in all the world.Touch thoses persecutors with your Holy Spirit and bring them to repentance and salvation for your Glory Amen.
Our Father, Hear our prayers and we ask that You give great strength and comfort to these dear people who love You. We pray that Youwillprovide for their nutritional needs in a miraculous way. We pray for those in hard labor and in prison camps. We pray they will be released. Help us daily to remember these , our brothers and sisters in Christ, daily.
amen
Holy Heavenly Father,
We honour your name. My your kingdom come in North Korea and may it overpower the kingdom of man. Please let your will be done in that part of the world as the good news of your kingdom reaches the uttermost parts of the world. May North Korea be blessed by the knowledge, the power and the peace of your Kingdom, for it IS your will that everyone hear and receive through faith the salvation that you are offering. Jesus died for the North Koreans because of his great love for the people he has created as one of the beautiful races on earth. Father, while you can, and as we agree, that the bark and the grass that they are eating be miraculously turned to a nutritious meal, we ask Heavenly Father that you deliver these precious people from bondage. Please give their captors, and those in higher rank than their captors, empathy to realize that our brothers and sisters have feelings just like they do and let them practice the golden rule. Almighty God, forgive their torturers for they do not know what they are doing. But do not just forgive. Father help them to stop it altogether. Change their hearts. Release them from the powers of darkness for whom they do their bidding. Transform them by your light. When they have the urge or the temptation to be mean to our brothers and sisters, as well as others in the gulags, please Father, you have the power to lead them away from these temptations. This is our urgent plea, Mighty One, that you would deliver your people from the evil. For the Kingdom is yours, and the power and the glory–they also belong to you, forever.
And lastly, our merciful God, as it is so difficult for the gospel to be preached, would it please you to visit the rulers of North Korea in dreams and visions, that they would have your attention and know that it is Jesus that they are persecuting. Turn them to you Lord, for your honour and glory. Thank you very much. Amen.
Heavenly Father I have read these beautiful prayers from these your children and I thank you for each of them. Father while I cannot express such beautiful prayers as these yet my heart and my prayers are in sync with those and I pray for your will to be done in the lives of each of these your children that are suffering for their faith in you. Oh My Lord may you turn their suffering to joy and may all glory and honor be yours for you alone are worthy of our praise and all glory
Lord of all,
May Your kingdom come and Your will be done in the capital of North Korea, Pyonyang, so it will be known again as “the Jerusalem of the East” like it was known back at the beginning of the 20th century. Amen
Amen!
YOU EXPRESSED YOUR PRAYER SO BEAUTIFULLY! YOUR WORDS EXPRESS WHAT IS IN MY HEART BUT I CANNOT PUT INTO WORDS BECAUSE I AM FILLED WITH SUCH GRIEF FOR THEM. I TRUST THE LORD WILL HEAR OUR PRAYERS FOR OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS. AMEN!
AMEN!!!!!!
I pray Father God, that you will feed your children, not only with food but with spiritual food and knowledge of your son Jesus Christ, our salvation. Strengthen your children for the task you have given them and let us stand with them in prayer and encouragement for your blessings to be poured out upon them. In Jesus name, Amen
Heavenly Father we pray for our brothers and sisters in North Korea. We pray for freedom under the new leadership of Kim Jong-Un. Lord we pray that you will soften his heart toward men and women of faith in you. Strengthen your children and help them to have courage in the face of persecutions and incarceration. Help them to receive encouragement by the ministering of the Holy Spirit upon them. Cover them with your wings. Help them to receive real and tangible help from Bibles and study materials that will help them to learn of you and be comforted. Lead their every step to be protected and guided by you. Thank you for your precious Son, Jesus, Who gave himself that they could have life everlasting and for the Holy Spirit, their comforter. We intercede on their behalf that they may have their needs met and be uphelp by your strong hand. You are their high tower, their balm of healing and their Savation. Let your love be as a warm blanket to cover them and comfort them in their distress. We glorify you, Lord, that you have not forgotten your precious ones and that you are with them always. Let us keep them before you in prayer. In the precious and Holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord.
That is one of the most beautiful and perfect prayers for this situation! Thank you for posting it. I prayed it too with all my heart!!!
AMEN!!!!!!!!
I know there is nothing to hard for God, if He freed the Jews in Egypt through Moses, He certainly can free the North Koreans from their enemies in Jesus name. Weeping may endure for a night, but Joy comes in the morning. Be Encouraged!!!! Expect the joy because His words will not return unto Him void.
Lord, when any part of the body hurts, the entire body suffers. Our hearts cry for your people in north Korea, and we pray that Your presence will comfort them and your power will sustain them through such horific trials. Have mercy on us in the West for failing to care, and revive us that we may share in the suffering and thus in the your glory. In Jesus’ name, the only hope we have in a world filled with false hopes. Amen.
AMEN!
Amen
Thou our Lord art the only one who knows really what´s gooing on in North Korea. But what we know is already so much cruel. It´s too much! Please let the nation get free from this curse, this inexpressible suffering. Please have mercy with thy children, have mercy with the “East-Jerusalem of the past”. I beg thee, HAVE MERCY!!! Let the ceiling, the veil over this country be teared down. Let there be a whol which nobody can close again.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ!
Come quickly, Lord Jesus!
May the Manifold grace of our Lord Jesus christ be lavished upon our brothers and sisters that have so much sacrificed and endangered their lives for the most rewarding cause of the kingdom of God
Lord God, thank you for Jesus and the suffering that he endured for us. Thank you that amidst some of the most terrible things we can imagine, you are still holy. You are still pure. You are still merciful. I don’t understand it, but I want to believe it. Give me the faith of a mustard seed.
Give my brothers and sisters in North Korea the faith of a mustard seed that they might also be able to believe in your mercy and grace amidst terrible persecution and suffering. Be their rock, their redeemer, their joy, their hope, their satisfaction. Light in them a faith that cannot be put out. Show them that you are there, you are strong, you are faithful, you are loving, you are Father.
Finally Father, as hard as this is for me to pray: I ask that you use their suffering to further your kingdom. Show non-believers the power of your love, that as my brothers and sisters are slaughtered for their faith, their joy would be a living testimony to the people around them. Make government officials into believers. Make torturers into believers. Make the most cruel and hard heart soft towards you. I ask these so that Christ’s name may be redeemed and restored. Amen.
Father I pray for the new leadership in North Korea, that you turn their hearts to your Son.
I ask for the people of that country. Keep them in your hands, provide food, warmth, shelter.
Lead the way, guide their paths, give them courage, love, help in all things. Hide those who are escaping, protect those who are unable. Poor out your spirit abundantly. Provide for the children. Move them to take refuge under your shadow.
“WHATEVER YOU ASK IN MY NAME I WILL DO”.
I ASK IN THE NAME OF YESHUA. AMEN
I pray that God would provide a way out of no way. I pray for blessings upon blessings to follow them and a path to the light of life to be bright. I pray that God will give them the strength to endure what is ahead and remind them whats in the end IN THE NAME OFF JESUS AMEN

These stories have added another praying points to my prayer points about suffering christians in those dark places and governments, and that GOD will open more doors to this blessed organization of our generation.”Mr. President! God is your strenght allready, i am also praying for you and your family and the God given vision. “YOUR FINANCIAL OPEN DOORS WILL NEVER BE CLOSED IN JESUS NAME AMEN. A Nigerian Missionary in Brasil, Emeka Benjamin Udokwu.
Jesus … have mercy on your children in north korea. give them the strength to survive until You come a second time. I believe that beautiful crown thou hast prepared for those who suffer because of Your name. Transform the leader of the new state of North Korea. In the Name of Jesus. amen
Must be difficult for Christians, although, it sounds like Israel, where Christians get spat on, mocked, and ridiculed, on a daily basis.
Which begs the question. Why is Israel not listed? It’s one of the most anti-Christian countries there is. Since the foundation of the State, the Christian population has been virtually decimated, and the birthplace of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, may soon have few Christians living or practicing their faith in the so-called, ‘Holy Land.’
Just ask the Jesuits in Bethlehem for first-hand accounts.
Time to wake up Christians.
Divine Supernatural Protection over Christian believers, and those oppressed, from the persecution and from terrorism and terroristic threats. Increased encouragement, perseverance, and endurance to to believers in this region. Father, we ask that captives be set free and the Light of the Gospel shine through and penetrate the darkness and deception of those living here that they may receive salvation, healing, deliverance in Jesus Christ in the Authority of Jesus Name.
Lord I u’ve expressed your heart desire that none should perish but that all should come to the saving knowledge of ur son Jesus,I pray O God that you’ll make your grace of salvation available unto North Korea in the name of your son Jesus,Amen.
Dear Heavenly Father, God of all mercy, I lift the suffering church of North Korea before the very throne of grace and petition You on their behalf. It seems their suffering must be almost more that they can bear, because it is almost more than I can bear to think about. Yet Your Word declares, in all the things they suffer they are more than conquerors through You who love them. So, I ask that You comfort, and strengthen these brothers and sisters, and increase the number of Bibles getting into the country. Give them safety to gather, even in small numbers of 2 or 3, so they can encourage one another. Provide supernatural protection to those who flee to China, and lead them to a safe haven once there. I pray all this in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
Lord, it is been a long time I pray for the oppression in N.Korea to end. Lord please send your Holy Spirit to comfort our North Korean brothers and sisters. May the walls that separate this country from your Grace be broken and may Jesus be worshiped there instead of the Kims dynasty. May the Gospel guide the country instead of Juche.
Oh precious God and heavenly Father, upon reading of my brothers and sisters in N. Korea suffering, my heart is heavy so I can only bring them before you Lord. Before your throne to receive mercy and grace in their time of great need, you hear their cries Father and their pain and suffering, I pray Lord you meet the needs of comfort, peace, strength and their physical needs. Give manna as you provided your children of old in the desert and water, allow the grass & bark to satisfy their hunger.
Lord with so much suffering, I pray bring the last soul to receive you before you come for us, to trust you today and call us home, Father, I pray in Jesus holy and precious name. Amen Lord I beg for mercy for my brothers and sisters in N. Korea…

Dear Father in Heaven,
I thank you for your Son, Jesus & all that He has done for us on the cross. Sometimes, Father, we forget other churches throughout the world & think only of ourselves & our troubles. I thank you for what we have. I thank you for this opportunity to pray for the country on North Korea. I ask that your Will be done there Father. I plead on the behalf of the CHRISTians & Non-CHRISTians of North Korea. I ask to stand in the gap for them. I ask that you bring more into your fold for your greater Glory, Father. If more must be persecuted to come to you then let your Will be done. I ask that you help those that look up to you by giving them strength, courage & love. I ask that you encourage those persecuted to reach out to their unbelieving brethren with a loving hand & tell them of your Son, Jesus. I ask that you rend the hearts of the unbelieving North Koreans so that they might be prepared to hear about your Son & all that He’s done for them. I plead that you help your children in North Korea. Give them food & strength to accomplish the task that needs to be accomplished while it is still light. Bless them in a multitude of ways. Father, strike the hearts of the leaders of North Korea that they themselves will plow up the hard earth of their hearts so that they will ask your Son, Jesus Christ to come in. Plant your seed in the fertile ground of their hearts, Father. Be with those escaping to China. Lay your hand over them & encourage them to witness to the Chinese as they pass through.
I ask all these things in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord & Saviour,
Amen!
Lord we cry out to You Father to set the prisoners free…..let them escape into China without being detected.
Lord that there will be a change of heart toward these precious ones from the new leader Kim Jong-Ur….
that You will open his eyes to see You and who You are.. reveal Your love & compassion to him…Give Him wisdom and revelation and the knowledge of You Lorrd.
Comfort our brothers and sisters in North Korea and give them strength to endure & a deep joy of knowing You…

Father God, I give thanks for the many suffering Christians and workers who labour faithfully in your field in North Korea. I ask of you Lord, my brothers and sisters be of unity and their confessions of what Christ has done for them will manifest and take root in the hearts of this land. In the name and authority of Jesus Christ, I plead the blood of Jesus keep Christians unharmed from acts of the enemy. Father God, I ask of you arise and fight for your people be delivered from physical captivity. God of Moses, send what you will, creative environmental miracles and shepherds of your own heart set your people free from wicked laws of this land. Lord, I cry out to you, for the 10 millions who hunger for physical food and spiritual food. Lord, people are dying. Please, my God, the lost is great if they cannot live longer hear your good news. Once again, holy God whose heart is so tender with kindness let your lands once again yield food for the people. And this time, Lord, I ask their eyes be opened and have no choice but to acknowledge your sovereignty and mercy. In the name of Jesus, I bind all agents and powers of the air, land and seas of North Korea. Be fired and go back to the pits of hell where you belong. In the name of Jesus, I loose the warring holy angels be sent minister those who will call upon the name of the Lord in this land. Sorry God, for the bloodshed and sins of North Korea. I pray that the spirit of rebellion be bound and your holy presence be welcomed and teach the people to repent and pray for their leaders. Amen!
LORD God~I ask you this day to undertake by your Holy Spirit for our brothers and sisters in North Korea. Please give them strength to endure the hardships they face daily. Please allow them to hold your word in their hearts and know in their hearts that you will never leave them nor forsake them~you know each one by name.
I pray that you will open the eyes of the government to see that you are God Almighty and convict them that they need a Savior too. Thank you so much for your saving grace and that you care even when our circumstances would make us believe otherwise. In Jesus name. Amen
Father we cy out to You for the Christians in North Korea….send your angelic warriors to this Land…bring deliverience and protecion…like only You can do.

Amen.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
For this reason the Glory of the Lord will shine forth and this people, the cowering prisoners, will be set free.
I pray for the North Korean children and families who are starving. God’s justice will prevail.
May God put the unjust leaders out and their philosophies end. May the North Koreans experience a bountiful blessing from Jesus!
Dear Heavenly Father,
I come to You today on the behalf of my fellow believers in North Korea. I pray that they receive freedom and justice under the new leadership and that You guide them and protect them as they escape to China. I thank You for the courageous brothers and sisters I have and have no doubt that You are with them! I also thank You for the work Open Doors and other organizations are doing to help others in Your Name. Thank You again and again!
Amen.
Father God , I pray for North Korea and the leadership of that country that you would strike through their hearts and convince them of the truth of The LORD JESUS CHRIST. Reveal Thyself to the new leader and give him then the courage to lead in a way to establish freedom to worship you. Save many for Thy Glory and give hope and life to the hurting people there . Comfort and protect your church there and fill them with Your Holy Spirit . You love them LORD and help us to be loving and care much when we pray for them. The LORD rebuke you satan and any force that stands in the way of The Gospel being heard and believed . In The Name of The LORD Jesus Christ and through the power of The Blood that you shed , I pray and thankyou, Amen.
I know before Jesus comes we will experience a great move of God (revival).
Our dear heavenly father,Remember North Korea.May you move powerfully in
that Land in signs and wonders that will leave no doubt that you are God.May
all seeking safe passage to China be hidden by you.Protect them oh God.
Lastly the heart of the king is in your hands oh God.Visit the leader in dreams
and visions.Save him and deliver him and free North Korea .Amen.
Father God I ask you to be with my brothers and sisters in North Korea. Give them the strength to not just endure but to be a light in such a dark place. I ask you to move the heart of Kim Jong-Un to make him compassionate towards Christians, even better Father that he would learn the truth of salvation through your Son. Thank you for Open Doors and other organizations that can bring support both spiritual and physical to your children. Bless the ministry and those involved with it. Father, I can not imagine what these people go through but you know their pain, please lessen it. Let them always have the hope of Heaven in their hearts. Amen
Lord, I am saddened and hurt for my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ in North Korea. Lord, I have been blessed to live in a land of religious freedom and wealth, so I have never had to endure what these believers are enduring. I sometimes wonder if I would be as brave as them in that circumstance. I thank You, Lord, for the church that is in North Korea. Though it may be small, I know You can work many awesome wonders through small numbers, as we see throughout the entire Bible. Lord, I ask that You be with my brothers and sisters in Christ today and give them Your Comfort and Peace. Let them feel Your Love and the love and prayers from their brothers and sisters from all over the world. Lord, I ask that leaders would be raised up in North Korea that would promote religious freedom instead of persecution. For those who are enduring these terrible conditions, I ask that You would strengthen their faith and help them to endure what they must for Your glory. Lord, pour out Your Holy Spirit on North Korea so that many more will come to know and love and follow You. Lord, I thank You for Christian organizations who work in this country, risking themselves, to help the believers here. Please multiply the resources available so that every believer would have access to Your Word and be able to share it with others. Let the precious moments of fellowship nourish each believer’s soul. Lord, salvation of souls is Your will. May Your will be done. Thank You for being so merciful to us, waiting patiently for more souls to be saved. In Jesus’s Holy and Precious Name, Amen!
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for Moon and her testimony. Under the guise of “religion” I too had a coerced,
forced abortion here in the USA and then was used as a sex slave in “marriage” here in the
USA and was coerced into a hysterectomy at age 32. This often happens to post abortive
women here in the USA and then they work to make money outside the “home”.
Thank you LORD, for showing and telling us how the enemy operates. Withholding basic
daily needs of food and clothes and water; denying access to such and to be used
for perverse, lascivious, lustful purposes.
How can we survive such? Through the resurrection power of Jesus Christ. So I ask/pray
for this power to descend upon every believer in North Korea and around the world today.
For we know, that Jesus Christ not only is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, but is
with us here, for it is here on earth, as it is in heaven. There will be no more sorrow, no
more tears. Help all believers to “abide in Him”, for He loves us and a bruised reed He will not hurt. He helps the lame to walk, the blind to see, and the deaf to hear.
Amen
Amen.
Lord, I’d like to join my prayers to all my brothers and sisters around the world. Lord, you are the one who created Heavens and Earth, the whole Universe can be embraced by your hand. There is nothing that you cannot see or hear. You know exactly what’s going on in North Korea. Therefore, Lord, in Jesus Name, and knowing that you love the people living in this country I pray that your Kingdom can be established there, that you protect our brothers and sisters and fill them with your love, joy, peace…, that they can see your wonders and how you fight for them; that even when things are difficult they can see that you are with them and that their suffering has a sense, that many people come to you, even their enemies! I pray that you teach us how to help them and how to pray… Thank you for every person there that is following you and thank you for all the organisations working there to help them. Give them wisdom, power and protection. Lord, I also pray for China to receive the North-Korean refugees in a good way, that christians can meet them and that they can know you. Lord, thank you for your victory and for the security of our eternal life with you… I pray that we can always follow you carefully. I Jesus Name!
Dear God,
I lift up the Christians in North Korea into Your arms this evening. Be with them and fill them with courage and strength in Your Name. We pray for religious freedom and justice under the new leadership. Convict North Korea’s new leader’s heart that he may see Your wonderful grace. Thank you for organizations such as Open Doors which help the Christians in countries that are persecuting them. We know in these days persecution of Christianity is more prevalent than ever. Please wrap in Your arms of safety, those who flee North Korea to China and other countries. Help each of us in free countries to daily pray for our brothers and sisters in North Korea, loving and encouraging them. All things are in Your hands. We just give You all the praise.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen
my heart goes out to the Christians in N. Korea I pray for those who persecute them that they would be brought under conviction by the Holy Spirit
Thank you Father for another day to worship and rejoice in You; the One true and Living God. “This is the day the LORD has made, let us be glad and rejoice in it.” As believers we get to the honor of worshiping You, Lord, everyday. Thank you for this gift.Thank you that You are not made of wood, iron or clay, but that You are ALIVE today. Nothing is impossible for You, your word tells us this. Also, You reign over every President, Queen, King and all leaders and kingdoms. Thank you Lord, and I pray Your kingdom come and Your will be done over North Korea, its leaders and the people there, on earth as it is in heaven. Thank you Lord for supplying their daily bread and nourishing their bodies, believers and unbelievers. May Your mercy and grace abound to our sisters and brothers in North Korea who continue their strong faith in You. Help the children of North Korea; Lord give them dreams and vision of You, open doors for Bibles to get to them so they may have Your word with them always. Lord, thank you for Open Doors and many other organizations who are helping to get aid and the Gospel to this country.Let Your mighty hand surround the families of North Korea with mercy and grace, let them know You in a personal way. You made a way for the jailer and his whole family to know You, in the days of Paul and Silas, while sitting in prison, they “were praying and singing hymns to God and all the prisoners were listening to them.” The foundation of the prison was shaken; the doors opened and everyone’s chains were loosed. Lord, shake the foundations of communism, bring down the walls of destruction and loose the chains on the people. In Jesus’ name. Amen
Lord, I come to You this morning on behalf of North Korea. Even when things seem the darkest and the most desperate, You are still at work. I pray for every believer inside the nation of North Korea. I pray that You would continue to be their sustenance – that You would protect them, provide for them, encourage them, direct them. I pray that You would use them to bring Your light to others inside that dark nation. I ask that You would show them exactly what You want them to do every single day and that You would reassure them that You will never let them go and that their lives are firmly in Your hands. I pray for the majority of the nation who does not know You. Lord, You are able to make Yourself real to every single heart by miraculous or natural ways. Please reveal Yourself to each North Korean. Help them not to be bound by the ‘religion’ they they were taught growing up – to worship Kim il-Sung and Kim Jong-il [and now Kim Jong-un]. Break the power of that false religion and show them the truth that is found only in You. I pray against the powers and principalities of North Korea and ask that You would engage in battle on behalf of that nation and its darkness. I pray for any and every Christian organization that desires to enter into that nation – that You would pave a way for them to get in so that they can bring Your light into North Korea. I pray for the people who are suffering from malnutrition, abuse, poverty. I ask that You would, again, shine light into that nation so that the outside world becomes aware of the atrocities that are taking place and can actually do something about it. It’s not fair that people have to eat bark and grass – please help them. Lord, for those that You have ordained to escape that nation – protect them and guide them on their journeys. Speak to them so that they know what to do and when to do it. Lead them and protect them and help them to be able to start a new life and bring awareness to what is going on inside. And finally, I pray for the new leadership of this country under Kim Jong-un. I have heard things that might possibly have indicated that he is open to receiving aid inside the nation. I ask that You would use this change in leadership for the good of the people and for the good of Your gospel. Please take hold of the heart of Kim Jong-un and turn that heart towards the people that You have given him to govern. Reveal Your light to him – save him!! What an amazing testimony of Your grace that would be for the leader of this nation to become a Christian and to turn this country around for Your glory. These are big prayers, but You are a big God. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Father, as you examine these prayers that come up before you, this is a wonderful prayer. It is well articulated. And Yes! These are big prayers, but then you are a BIG, wonderful God. So please accept these prayers as incense, and show your power and glory. Amen.
Heavenly Father, I thank you for all your blessings and for everything you do. I pray for our suffering brothers and sisters in Christ in North Korea. Lord, please bring freedom to Christians in North Korea. I pray for their protection and give them the strength they need to go forward. Hear their cries and have mercy on their persecuters and the N. Korean government so that they too can know You. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Thank You, Lord for Open Doors – what a worthy cause and great way to generate aid and prayer to our brothers and sisters in the most difficult places on earth!! I’m standing with you all from Alberta, Canada. I agree with the good prayers above. Lev. 26:8: “Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight; your enemies shall fall by the sword before you.” Father God, I believe for an exponential increase in your power to come into N. Korea as we come together in prayer and seek/decree Your desire for her. I ask for Your justice and righteousness to be released in this nation of North Korea. Let Your righteous judgements prevail! Crush your enemies by the sword of your mouth.
Lord, we stand united in our prayer for Christians in North Korea. We pray for freedom and justice under the new leadership of Kim Jong-Un. We pray that he would be more understanding and compassionate than his father and that you Father will use him to stop persecution of the believers. Lord we are thankful for Open Doors and other Christian NGOs who offer assistance but most importantly who make it possible for believers to pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters all over the world. We pray for the safety of all North Korean Christians escaping to China. Help them, keep them, protect them, cover them in the blood of Jesus, build a hedge of protection around them. Continue to bless them in every way Father this we pray in Jesus Name. AMEN!!
It is so sad that my brothers and sisters in Christ over in North Korea suffer because of their horrible Communist government. I pray that they are safe, alive and well. I am 16 and my Contemporary History class, my class and I watched a video on North Korea. The video gave an insight on how North Koreans live and think. I felt so sorry for them because they are brainwashd by their Communist leaders and don’t know how life is like outside of North Korea. To me, that is so sad.
We just have to pray for these people inculding our Brothers and Sisters in Christ to be saf and have a good meal because it is sad that they go through so much.
Our Heavenly Father,the needs of your children in North Korea are so great,they cry out to You in their suffering. O Lord, righteous belongs to you,you are Holy,Sovereign,and True in every way,please hear the prayers and suppliments of the millions of prayers for North Korea which are constantly before your Throne.We confess our sins Lord, please forgive us O Lord, we deserve your punishment for we are not always greatfull for your loving grace in our country,where we have the privelige to worship You without persecution. O God please intervene in North Korea let righteousness prevail.Lord i pray for the Christian prisoners in prison camps that they will never feel alone,but that they will know Jesus is with them all the time,the Finisher of their faith.Lord strengthen them, to endue the physical and mental forture they have to endue every day,please have mercy O God Allmighty,protect them from the evil one and his evil schemes.Lord i also pray for the protection of bibles in the underground Churchs,please close the eyes of the blind so they will not discover your Precious Word which they want to destroy. I pray for the protection of the millions of orhans left behind, they have little support, please provide for them Lord,many people are starving to death due to poverty. Knowing that my prayers will not go unanswered Lord. I pray for the rulers and authorities of North Korea,who don’t know You, open their spiritual eyes so that they can see the light, let your will be done, so as to bring Glory to Your Name. Your Word says!” So the living may know the Most High is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and gives them to to anyone he wishes and sets them over the lowest of men”.Thank you for the Holy Spirit Who intercedes for us in our prayer,for we will be lost without you guidence.I Pray this prayer in the Blessed Name of our God and Saviour,Jesus Christ with thanks giving. Amen.
Thank You for the prayers of your saints Lord. Thank you for using them to encourage me today. I pray for the North Korean people today and tomorrow, that You would reveal Yourself in their hearts through dreams and visions, and please open the doors for Bibles to get in their hands. I pray Lord that someday soon this regime would fall and that You would bless these people will freedom. I also pray that the gospel would spread through North Korea. I also pray for the heart of Kim Jong-Un, that You would convict him of your glory and power that is far superior to his. Help him see that he and his father and grandfather are only creations and are just men. Please work a miracle Lord and break his heart and open his eyes to the pain he is causing. Give him courage to change North Korea. All things are possible with You God.
My heart is burdened and I desire to pray with wisdom and accurately for them. I was also blessed and encouraged by their ability to go back in and bless their brothers! And to pray for their leader, not for harm, but for him to know Christ. May I and others do the same-not only for their leader(s) but for our own.president! Thank-you for being brave and having courage in the midst of it all! Wendy
I will continue to pray….!
Father God, pour out Your Holy Spirit upon the Christians in North Korea. Make Jesus so real to their hearts that they will find a deep joy inspite of their deep suffering. Let there be a revival in every prison and labor camp. The government can control a lot, but they can’t control you LORD.

I can say that I do not have silver neither gold, but what I have I am giving to the North Korean, my prayer: Deliver them from their enemy. May that a new spirit came upon this country.
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus, Would you read this and be in agreement in prayer and supplication (specifics) that the Lord God is husband to North Korea, and that His Word will come to pass, that He will restore her, and God bless you all and meet your needs:
“Isaiah 54
The Future Glory of Zion
1 “Sing, barren woman,
you who never bore a child;
burst into song, shout for joy,
you who were never in labor;
because more are the children of the desolate woman
than of her who has a husband,”
says the LORD.
2 “Enlarge the place of your tent,
stretch your tent curtains wide,
do not hold back;
lengthen your cords,
strengthen your stakes.
3 For you will spread out to the right and to the left;
your descendants will dispossess nations
and settle in their desolate cities.
4 “Do not be afraid; you will not be put to shame.
Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated.
You will forget the shame of your youth
and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood.
5 For your Maker is your husband—
the LORD Almighty is his name—
the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer;
he is called the God of all the earth.
6 The LORD will call you back
as if you were a wife deserted and distressed in spirit—
a wife who married young,
only to be rejected,” says your God.
7 “For a brief moment I abandoned you,
but with deep compassion I will bring you back.
8 In a surge of anger
I hid my face from you for a moment,
but with everlasting kindness
I will have compassion on you,”
says the LORD your Redeemer.
9 “To me this is like the days of Noah,
when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth.
So now I have sworn not to be angry with you,
never to rebuke you again.
10 Though the mountains be shaken
and the hills be removed,
yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken
nor my covenant of peace be removed,”
says the LORD, who has compassion on you.
11 “Afflicted city, lashed by storms and not comforted,
I will rebuild you with stones of turquoise,[a]
your foundations with lapis lazuli.
12 I will make your battlements of rubies,
your gates of sparkling jewels,
and all your walls of precious stones.
13 All your children will be taught by the LORD,
and great will be their peace.
14 In righteousness you will be established:
Tyranny will be far from you;
you will have nothing to fear.
Terror will be far removed;
it will not come near you.
15 If anyone does attack you, it will not be my doing;
whoever attacks you will surrender to you.
16 “See, it is I who created the blacksmith
who fans the coals into flame
and forges a weapon fit for its work.
And it is I who have created the destroyer to wreak havoc;
17 no weapon forged against you will prevail,
and you will refute every tongue that accuses you.
This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,
and this is their vindication from me,”
declares the LORD. “
Lord, I lift up your people in North Korea to you. Refine their spirits in their sufferings and make them to stand. Lord, let them be a light to those around them, that they may see Jesus even when His name cannot be spoken. Touch the heart of this new leader and give him a heart for the welfare of his people. Help us in the West never to forget our brothers and sisters in their suffering.
I pray you will honor The LORD in your suffering. Hold to the truth.
ISAIAH 58
11And the LORD will guide you continually
and satisfy your desire in scorched places
and make your bones strong;
and you shall be like a watered garden,
like a spring of water,
whose waters do not fail.
12 And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt;
you shall raise up the foundations of many generations;
you shall be called the repairer of the breach,
the restorer of streets to dwell in.
13 “If you turn back your foot from the Sabbath,
from doing your pleasure on my holy day,
and call the Sabbath a delight
and the holy day of the LORD honorable;
if you honor it, not going your own ways,
or seeking your own pleasure, or talking idly;
14 then you shall take delight in the LORD,
and I will make you ride on the heights of the earth;
I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father,
for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”
Heavenly Father, I agree with all my brothers and sisters in Christ in prayer. I plead before Your throne of grace that you will show mercy to our beloved church in North Korea. We pray for all those who are suffering in hard labour camps and those suffering torture, that they will stand firm in their faith, not wavering. We recall the many martyrs in the history of the church. We ask that You will give grace to the persecuted church. Our Father, You are all sovereign over the affairs of humanity. You raise up and You pull down. Political leaders and tyrants are subjected to Your will. For the sake of the persecuted church and the population suffering famine and untold hardship, please remove this evil leadership and replace it with a leader of Your choice. I ask this in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Lord: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me. Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me: O Lord, make haste to help me. Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil. Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha. Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified. But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God. (Psalm 40:11-17 KJV)
Lord,
Thank you for your goodness and mercy. Be ever good and merciful to the Christians in North Korea. Preserve and deliver them. And may the Gospel of Peace shine as a light unto a dark place. In Jesus name. Amen.
Please Lord, help the Christians and people of North Korea to stand firm against the great oppression they are under in North Korea. Help them to get the supplies and food they need- especially for their children. Help the leaders of this country put you first by changing their hearts around to Jesus. Please break any demonic influences over this country in Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
Father God, Please protect my brothers and sisters in North Korea and open up the hearts of the leadership and people that they may trust in The LORD Jesus . I ask in HIS HOLY name amen.
Father, Almighty God, may the name of Jesus be lifted up in the darkness of this world; I plead for Your hand of mercy to reach into the heart of the leadership of North Korea that they may see and know the pain inflicted upon the people of their nation. May they release their repressive hand from the people who wish to share the Gospel message and may Open Doors continue to offer and provide aid to the hurting, hungry bodies and spirits of North Korea. God’s peace to my loving brothers and sisters in the Mighty and Glorious Name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
LORD, I ask today that you will be gracious to our brothers and sisters in N.Korea. Please protect them and give them hope , especially hope that one day they will see you.and the hope that you have not forgotten them.Thank you for your love for them, for you word says that nothing shall seperate beleivers from your love. I ask that by your Holy Spirit you will soften the hearts of the govenment and Leaders to see the needs of these precoius people. In the name if Jesus I pray these things. Amen
Lord, please strenghten our brothers and sisters in North Korea, with all Your might and power. May they feel Your strength and know others are praying for them and please let them know they will never be forgotten, we hold them in high esteem and love them–we are all part of the same Body of Christ. Hebrews 13:3, “Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.” Great, great grace for them!
Lord as your chosen people left Egypt and were led by You through the desert so we ask you once again to lead the people of N. Korea through the territory of terror. May they not be seen by the enemy and travel through the high waters safely. For those who are believers in Jesus Christ but are staying in N. Korea. we pray that you would miraculously provide food and safety for them. May they be able to say “I can do all things thru God who strengthens me”. “Ask and you shall receive!” LORD hear our prayers for the N. Korean people.
Divine Heavenly Father,
You are the Healer. You are the Provider. You are the Korean’s strong tower. You are the good shepherd and may you protect your lambs in the Korean province that they may have the strength to persevere. Thank you for Your church in Korea. I pray for the provision and protection of all that are hungry, persecuted, and incarcerated. I pray for Kim-Jong Un and for all in the leadership that their spirits will be touched by your Holy Spirit. Their souls are precious to You O Lord. All in Christ, for He IS the fullness, the Glory, and the reason for this prayer.
Amen!
Praying for North Korea.
May God grant healing, wisdom, courage, strength, and His peace to these courageous and persevering servants, and may we learn well from their example.
Lord, I pray once again tonight for North Korea. Only You know, Lord. Only You understand what is really going on there and only You know how to fix it. But I pray for North Korea during this critical time – that You would get an ‘in’ during this transition of their government and begin to move things toward positive change for the people. It’s not right that they have to eat grass and bark. Please provide nourishment for those who are hungry – for ALL who are hungry, Lord. Please don’t allow them to suffer for the mistakes of others. Please help organizations who want to get in there to help. Please also strengthen the believers in that nation and increase their faith and protect them and use them to grow Your kingdom. We have such a short time left – please just be glorified in North Korea and give grace to everyone suffering because of their faith in You. SAVE North Koreans, Lord! Turn this country around for Your glory and let them know You and believe in You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Heavenly father,
I pray that your Holy Spirit move mightyly in this land of suffering to deliver especially your children out of the hand of the current regime of terror. Manisfest your glory, Father, by miraculary answering thier cries and prayers. Special deliverance that was never before seen so that great revival and salvation spread like fire over this land. Arise, O Lord, deliver them O my God so that your name be glorified and honoured. In the mighty name of our Lord Jesus. Amen
Dear God,
Please hold those suffering in NK in the palms of your hands. Cover them with your shadow and encourage them. Father send them food and drink to nourish their bodies and your word to nourish their spirits. Keep them strong in their faith as they witness to their fellow prisoners. I pray that you replace the leader of NK with a man of your choosing and end the suffering of the country. In the name of Jesus. Amen
Lord God,
Please minister to our brothers and sisters in Christ in North Korea. Give them strength to endure the persecution and provide for them in miraculous ways through other believers and divine opportunities for nourishment of their bodies and souls! Please blind the eyes of those who are trying to capture the believers trying to leave and flee to China so they will make it safely. Give them Chinese believers to advocate for them and to also have courage to help them escape and find safe houses in China to live. Please provide them jobs so they can support families inside N. Korea. Most of all change the heart of this regime with the gospel and open the heart of this new leader to be humbled by the Truth of Jesus Christ as Lord. May he bow his knee and repent! I pray that you would also protect and give extraordinary health, grace and joy to the believers in the camps and give them a platform for the gospel in unique ways. In Jesus Name, Amen
I pray for freedom and justice in north Korea
Heavenly Father,
You know exactly what is in the hearts and minds of all your children, whether good or bad because you created all of us. It is my prayer to You Father that Your Holy Spirit will come into the hearts of the government in North Korea during this time of transition and speak Your peace upon them. Convict and convince their hearts that how they are treating their own brothers and sisters is not in accordance to Your word. Through the miraculous, it is my prayer that my malnourished brothers and sisters will be provided with the proper food to eat to regain their physical strength. I plead the Blood of Jesus over my brothers and sisters with a triple hedge of protection around them. And through this prayer my brothers and sisters will be encouraged and continue to praise You Lord. Paul and Silas praised you continuosly and were freed. Let the same thing happen for my sisters and brothers in North Korea in Jesus’ name
Lord, I ask for You to work powerfully through the lives and testimonies of those who endure hardships on Your behalf, that just as the stand of the Hebrews revealed Your power to Babylon; the persecutors of the N Korean church will see and glorify God through Your miraculous works on their behalf and by recognizing the love of Christ displayed through their actions and words.
Papa God, Your Word says that the righteous are not forsaken or their children begging bread, so on Your Word we stand in faith and claim that those who love Your Name in N. Korea have supernatural provision of bread for their households and Your Name is being praised for Your mighty works in their lives. Thank You, Jesus for giving us authority to pray in Your Name! Thank You, Holy Spirit, heart of Papa God for bringing Your comfort and angels to protect and provide for God’s children in N. Korea.
Father in heaven Holy is Your Name…high and lifted up!
We pray for the the people escaping from their country we ask for divine protection and
a permanent home in China.
How we thank You for the ministry of Open doors and the other groups that give aid to these precious people…we pray for strength for the believers and divine protection for them..
we thank You are at work in this country…Your ways and ours are not the same…Your ways are so much higher…we trust and thank You for all You do for the people of North Korea..
amen
Today, May 9th, I prayed from Costa Rica for North Korea, in order that the gospel runs in the middle of a needing town. Also for the security of the believers.
