10 Prayer Points for Japan

  1. Spiritual Awakening
    Pray for a spiritual revival across Japan. Ask God to open hearts and minds to the truth of His Word, that many would come to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Pray for a hunger and thirst for righteousness in the hearts of the Japanese people.
  2. The Church in Japan
    Lift up the local churches and Christian communities in Japan. Pray for strength, unity, and encouragement for pastors and leaders who often serve in spiritually dry and challenging environments. Ask God to raise up bold and compassionate leaders who will disciple others and multiply the Church.
  3. Youth and the Next Generation
    Pray for the young people of Japan, who face immense pressure from education, culture, and social expectations. Ask God to reveal Himself to the youth and to raise up a generation of believers who will passionately follow Christ and impact their society for good.
  4. Mental Health and Suicide Prevention
    Japan struggles with high rates of depression and suicide. Pray for healing, comfort, and intervention for those battling loneliness, anxiety, and hopelessness. Ask for wisdom and compassion in government policies and community support systems that address mental health needs.
  5. Families and Relationships
    Pray for strong and healthy families in Japan. Intercede for restoration in broken relationships and protection over marriages and children. Pray that love, forgiveness, and grace would take root in homes throughout the nation.
  6. Cultural Barriers to the Gospel
    Ask God to break through cultural norms and traditions that hinder the spread of the gospel. Pray for wisdom and creativity for missionaries and local believers as they share Christ in ways that are meaningful and respectful within Japanese culture.
  7. Missionaries and Outreach Workers
    Lift up the missionaries serving in Japan, often with few visible results over long periods. Pray for perseverance, fruitfulness, and joy in their ministry. Ask God to send more laborers into the harvest field of Japan, and for partnerships between global and local workers.
  8. Urban and Rural Communities
    Pray for both the densely populated urban centers like Tokyo and Osaka, and the often-overlooked rural towns and villages. Ask God to reach every corner of Japan, from bustling cities to remote areas, with the good news of salvation.
  9. Government and Leadership
    Pray for the leaders of Japan to govern with wisdom, integrity, and justice. Ask God to guide decisions that promote peace, human dignity, and spiritual openness. Pray for leaders to be open to partnerships with faith-based organizations for the good of the people.
  10. Peace and Global Role
    Thank God for Japan’s influence as a peaceful and technologically advanced nation. Pray that Japan would use its position in the world to promote justice, peace, and humanitarian values. Ask God to use the nation for His purposes in Asia and globally.

May this help us to unify believers around the world in lifting up Japan in prayer, trusting that God hears and responds in love and power.
