Weekly Prayer (Feb 14th, 2022): Pray for Japanese people to come to know God and truly experience the love of God through Christ Jesus (1 John 4:9-10).
On this Valentine's Day, let us pray for all those Japanese people who are not yet children of God, who do not know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge (Eph 3:19). Let us pray for them to hear and believe the good news of salvation, of the love of God that was made manifest in the world, as 1 John tells us:
"In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins" (1 John 4:9-10).
Let us pray, by the mercy and grace of God, for his love to be poured into the hearts of Japanese men, women, and children this very day, this week, this month, this year (Romans 5:5). And let us pray for the church, both in Japan and abroad, to show the love of Christ in word and deed to the Japanese.
In all these things, let us pray with hope and joy in our Lord Jesus. Amen.
