Heavenly Father, we celebrate that the Black Lives Matter
movement is increasing awareness of racism in Japan. Within this mostly
homogeneous nation, we are thankful that this moment in history is raising
questions and stimulating helpful conversations among Japanese citizens and
residents. We are glad to hear that people are primarily receptive to these
conversations and to exploring racism within the nation’s history, including long-held
prejudice against Chinese and Koreans. Lord, we know that racism and prejudice
are sin. We know you have clearly charged us to do nothing out of favoritism,
and that you look at hearts, rather than at outward appearance. Please help the
Japanese continue growing in these areas, and may the rest of the world follow
suit. May Japan prove to be a fine example of confronting, addressing and working
to eliminate racism. In Jesus’ powerful name we pray, amen.
