The Tenrikyo prayer is a special unique prayer asking God to help remove evil.

“Evil sweeping. Save them please, Universal Saving God”

This evil is not from an outside source like the devil or Satan. This evil exists in all of our minds. Yes, it is our evil thoughts! These evil thoughts are greed, regret, arrogance, and self-love. God tells us that these evil thoughts are the source of world suffering. God tells us that there is no one who is evil; but there are paths of the mistaken mind. These paths of acting on our evil thoughts lead to others suffering; but it also leads to our own sufferings. We reap what we have sowed.
