PRAY4JAPAN - 17 Day Prayer Guide for JapanSample

Perseverance through Trials

Many missionaries come but find it difficult to live in Japan; they often struggle with loneliness, isolation, and a sense of worthlessness.

Let's agree for God to revive weary missionaries, local Japanese workers and Japanese believers. May God help them persevere and live overcoming lives.

WORSHIP - We cry to the Father for help.

Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock.

You who sit enthroned between the cherubim, shine forth before Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh.

Awaken your might; come and save us. Restore us, O God; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved. Psalm 80:1-3 (NIV)

O Shepherd of Israel, You who sit enthroned between the cherubim, shine forth! Awaken Your might; come and save the Japanese. Restore them, O God; make Your face shine upon them, that they may be saved. 

DECLARE - We are more than conquerors!

But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. Romans 8:37 (NASB1995)

Father, we declare that in all the ups and downs, and challenges of life believers in Japan are more than conquerors through You.

PRAY - Help believers overcome evil with good.

Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good. Romans 12:21 (ASV)

Father, help Your weary children in Japan to not be overcome by evil, but to overcome evil with good. Revive hearts and minds, spirits, souls and bodies by the power of Your Spirit.
