The NCCK prepared a prayer resource booklet for its member churches, “You are all Witnesses of these things – Together with the Bereaved Families of the Sewol” for use - with a theme for each day, scripture, quotations from ‘the witnesses’, family members of Sewol victims, a prayer and further prayer requests made.
On Monday, the chapter was entitled, “Jesus’ Sufferings Announced”, with scripture John 12:5-8. We pray for revealing the truth about the Sewol Tragedy, and we pray to be able to realize God's will in agony and hardship.
Tuesday, under the title ‘The Disciples Betrayal part 1, used the reading Mark 14: 29-31, We pray that the nine missing persons who until now have not been returned to their families may be found as soon as possible, and we pray to be able to consider life more precious than mammon.
Wednesday was part 2 of the Disciples’ Betrayal, using the reading of Matthew 26:20-24. We pray for the bereaved families of the Sewol disaster's victims, who are pressed down by the strenuous and exhausting situation, that their wounds may be healed so that they have the strength to get up again, and we pray we will be able to embrace our suffering neighbour by the love that Jesus taught us.
On Thursday the theme was Jesus’ Love, with the scripture of John 3:3-ll. We pray to be able to bear the pain of the families that are affected by the Sewol Disaster as our own pain, and we pray to be able to become a reliable neighbour to those ones suffering.
The Friday theme was The Death of Jesus, with the reading from Mark 15:34-39. We pray that an agony like this caused by the Sewol Disaster may never happen again, and we pray to become Christians who perform our activities according to what the Bible teaches us.
Saturday’s theme was Preparation for Easter, with reading Luke 23:50-56. We pray for lifting of the whole body of the Sewol ferry, and we pray for the fact finding committee to work as quickly as properly to reveal the truth about the disaster.
