[Prayer] Let the North Korean People to find true refuge in God, the Alpha and the Omega

The Ministry of State Security (MSS) issued a directive to root out superstitious practices, citing the abnormal behavior of cadres' wives who are relying on fortune tellers and their predictions more than the Party. The directive added that it has been determined that they are spending as little as $100–$300, and often thousands of dollars, on shamanic rituals (gut) or bangto (superstitious acts to ward off misfortune)—praying for things like, 'Please don't let my husband get purged,' or 'Please let good business reports about my husband reach the respected leader’s ears.' They are also reportedly buying talismans with gold.

"Tell us what is to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods; yes, do good or do evil, that we may be afraid and tremble; behold, you are nothing, and your work is less than nothing; an abomination is he who chooses you"

Isaiah 41:23–24

As stated in the Bible, There is no god other than God. Have mercy on those who, ignorant of this truth, tremble with anxiety over the unknown and seek out fortune tellers. Grant them the grace to know and find true refuge in God, the Alpha and the Omega, who speaks of the past and the future, rather than the Party and the Dictator.
