Our prayers are usually concerning ourselves, like our friends or family; but in the Heaven’s Truth Religion (Tenrikyo), we have a prayer asking God to help others. It is a prayer asking God to sweep evil from the hearts of all mankind. How would the world be if greed, arrogance, and self love were gone? This would be heaven on earth! The following our scriptures from our sacred books:

Forgetting greed, we spread God’s Truth

This is most important, in making our prayer effective. Song eleven/fourth

This year with our prayer (Joyous Service)

God brought new members to our churches to be saved.

Oh, how delightful we are! How thankful we are! Song eleven/ten
