I am so very very very very glad that so many people are praying for Japan! Yes! Hallelujah! I'm sure there is lots to pray about and I'm sure if you ever run out of ideas you can find other resources to help you (missionaries' prayer letters etc. etc. but here is one resource that I thought was quite good:

Read the entire article to get the full impact and idea.
The 8 points are:
1. Pray for those in need of rescue that it will come swiftly.
2. Pray for the rescuers – safety, rest, encouragement, in the midst of horror and unrelenting pain.
3. Pray for families that have witnessed the unthinkable, are worried about loved ones, and fearful for their own safety.
4. Pray for children who need comfort and safety, hugs and reassurance – even if they are physically “fine.”
5. Pray for governments and authorities that all red tape would dissappear and corruption would cease.
6. Pray for relief agencies to have wisdom and compassion to make a lasting difference.
7. Pray for those around you that they would respond not just with what they can do, but with their heart.
8. Pray for yourself that you would have a heart of compassion – start now and it will grow.
