[Prayer] Liberate North Korea from oppressive rule and allow them to worship God

In North Korea, cigarette butts have many uses. Four thousand cigarette butts can be used to make one kilogram of high-quality nylon cotton, and 260 cigarette butts can be used to make a single piece of tofu. Recently, soldiers have been collecting cigarette butts, which has become a social problem. Originally collected by "flower swallows" and the elderly, cigarette butts have become a way for soldiers to make a living as supplies to the rear of the army have become difficult. Despite this situation, North Korean military authorities sternly warned that soldiers found collecting cigarette butts would be punished with three months of revolutionary labor.

"He who oppresses the poor despises his Creator, but he who has compassion on the needy exalts him." 

God of Proverbs 14:31, please have mercy on the people of North Korea who are suffering under the oppressive rule of Kim Jong-un's regime and are being pushed to the brink of starvation and death without having their basic needs met. Reign in Your righteousness over the leaders of North Korea who have chosen to exploit the people for the security of the regime at the expense of the people. Give the suffering people of North Korea the grace to read the Bible and come to know You, so that their present suffering may be transformed into the blessing of worshiping You.

We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
