We have begun collecting them here, and invite you to sign in and add your own prayers, condolences and hopes in the comments section below.
If you would like to donate to relief efforts, here is a good website listing several organizations with operations in the country.
Prayers from the URI network
The dignified composure of the Japanese people at a time of immense national crisis and their spirit of fellow-feeling, cooperation and collective efforts are wonderful examples of humanity at its best. If this nation will not pull through, who will!
My admiration and my prayers for this amazing nation.
God Bless.

Please, pray for the people of Japan !
Prions pour le people éprouvé du Japon.
O Divine Providence ! All existence is begotten by Thy bounty; deprive it not of the waters of Thy generosity, neither do Thou withhold it from the ocean of Thy mercy. I beseech Thee to aid and assist me at all times and under all conditions, and seek from the heaven of Thy grace Thine ancient favor. Thou art, in truth, the Lord of bounty, and the Sovereign of the kingdom of eternity… Baha'i Prayer
Loving Greetings,

We pray for Japan
Lord, protect our planet, because we live here, and here we dwell with
our daily tragedies.
May our daily reconstruction be the result of the very best that we
carry within us.
Give us the courage
to be able to reconstruct what was destroyed
to be able to recover what was lost
to be able to accept what was gone forever.
May you give us courage to look ahead,
may we never look back nor allow our soul to be discouraged.
Lord, give us enthusiasm, because Enthusiasm reaffirms to us that
everything is possible, as long as we are totally committed to what we
are doing.
Lord, may the Earth continue to transform seeds into wheat, may we
continue to transmute wheat into bread. Do not leave us in solitude.
Have compassion on us, Lord. For we often think we are dressed when we
are naked.
Do not forget, in your mercy, our friends in Japan, who are now
teaching us the meaning of Courage, Reconstruction, Solidarity and
Enthusiasm.
Amen
“Dear Lord, I humbly ask for your divine mercy. Please save Japan from
her sufferings. The people I’ve met there showed me nothing but kindness, respect and
fellowship. Lord, wipe away the tears of those who are weeping, fuel the strength
of those who are dying and give hope to those who are losing it.
I ask for your most divine mercy in this time of great surrender. Amen.”
