Psalm 90
This post was originally published on March 10, 2022.
Revelation 22:20
He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.”
Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
1. Charlie Kirk Gospel Opportunity – Pray for the the Holy Spirit to continue bringing the gospel to the attention of the millions of people who watched last Sunday’s memorial service for Charlie Kirk, and for national regeneration and revival to occur.
2. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Yesterday’s wide scale walkout at the UN is truly a sad commentary on the world’s attitude toward Israel.

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Tokyo.
1. Pray for the 18 pictured people to each have an intersection with the gospel message, and follow Jesus.
2. Just as in any other place, some Japanese people have made a profession of faith in the past, but since drifted away from Christianity. Pray for these five people to get right with the Lord, whether that means genuine salvation or restoration of fellowship: Mr. K, Mr. M, Ms. S, Ms. E, Ms. T.
3. Less than a block away from our map marker is a watch store. Pray for Moses’ prayer in Psalm 90:12 to find resonance in the life of the shop owner, that he may bow the knee to the only One not bound by time.
Revelation 22:20
Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Tokyo.
1. Many people in Tokyo suffer from asthma. Pray for the Lord to give wisdom to a set of Christian parents trying to figure out how to best help their child breathe better long-term.
2. Pray for the salvation of a person working in the Brillia building (far left of the picture).
3. Pray for the Lord to guide pastors and other church members who are working today to prepare all the aspects of this coming Sunday’s services.
Revelation 22:20
Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Tokyo.
1. Today’s picture is unique in that it is the first time a subway station has been the setting for our TGP prayers. This photo is part of the Ginza Line, which at 98 years old is Tokyo’s oldest subway line. Pray for whomever the oldest person will be to walk across the pictured area and ride the subway today, that God will give him / her a clear, direct opportunity to trust Jesus for salvation.
2. Pray for the youngest person to enjoy food today at A Happy Pancake Ginza (a business at the opposite side of the city block where our map marker is) to likewise have an opportunity to become a Christian.
3. Pray for any Christians using the Ginza Line this month who struggle with an addiction to walk in the victory that is theirs in Christ.
Revelation 22:20
Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Tokyo.
1. This morning we find ourselves walking through the Hamariku Gardens, originally built in the 17th century as a retreat for a well-to-do family, and currently a public park. A couple of interesting features are worth noting. First, the garden has a tidal pond that permits seawater to flow in at high tide. Second, President U.S. Grant sipped green tea here with the Japanese emperor in 1879. Pray for a Christian who will enjoy the garden’s maple and ginkgo fall foliage this season to find his soul refreshed after walking through the garden and enjoying a time of personal fellowship with the Lord.
2. Pray for the salvation of a groundskeeper working today in Hamariku Gardens.
3. Pray for an elderly person who has enjoyed several visits to the park throughout her lifetime, and will be going for the last time this fall, to be reconciled to her Maker before it is too late.
Revelation 22:20
Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Tokyo.
1. Pray that anyone in Japan who watched Charlie Kirk’s memorial service and heard the gospel will decide to place personal faith in Jesus alone for salvation.
2. Pray for both the highest and lowest paid two people who work in this building to have true treasure in heaven.
3. Pray for Christians in Tokyo to have and take opportunities to witness this week.
Revelation 22:20
Additionally, Australia is the most recent major country to call for a sovereign Palestinian State. The United Nations meets in New York this week. Pray for the Lord to protect Israel.
1. Pray for tens of thousands of people to believe the gospel when they hear it today.
2. Pray for the Lord Himself to bring lasting national revival / regeneration to the USA.
3. Pray for comfort, courage, wisdom, and safety for all involved in today’s celebration of life and legacy service.
Proverbs 14:34
Righteousness exalts a nation,
but sin is a reproach to any people.
John 8:12
Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” (NKJV)
1. Pray for the Lord to bring a Japanese person across the paths of every TGP member during our virtual prayer walk in Tokyo. Pray for us to each have an opportunity to witness to that person, even if it is only to say, “Jesus loves you.”
An interesting and humorous story occurred two days ago. My son and I were speaking with a bank teller when two Japanese people – an older woman and girl maybe 11 or 12 years old – came into the bank and did a transaction with another teller less than ten feet away from us. I wanted to run over and say how excited I was to see them and why! However, they finished their transaction quickly and left. Given the nature of the circumstances, it didn’t work out to for us to talk to them (it was a little funny to mentally picture what would have happened if I would have done that, down to the details of the little bulldog with them who made noise the entire time they were in the bank). The good news is that they must live somewhere in the proximity of our village of 1,790 people, so hopefully our paths will cross again in a manner which would facilitate at least a simple witness.
All that to say, let’s keep praying and be on the lookout. 🙂 It would be really special if the Lord gave us opportunities to witness to Japanese people in America while we are praying for those in Tokyo. Feel free to send in any stories of how God may answer this prayer in your life.
2. Pray for the Lord to meet whatever today’s needs are in the lives / ministry of missionaries Bill and Becky Petite.

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Tokyo.
1. Pray for the Lord to bring a gospel witness into the life of each pedestrian wearing orange who will cross this intersection today.
2. Namivoke Shrine is the most important Shinto shrine in the Okinawa Prefecture, and was originally built around 700 years ago. Its name mean “above the waves,” and reflects its location above the sea. Visitors to the shrine have historically prayed for safety at sea and blessings on family events like marriage and childbirth. Pray for someone searching for the truth who has visited Namivoke Shrine to come to know the only true Protector on a personal level, through the crosswork of His Son.
3. Pray for Tokyo’s Christian deacons and their wives to sense the presence of the Lord today, and walk with Him in a Godly manner.
