Please Let Us Become Being Who Sing Praises to You Eternally, Father

 

Unworthy as we are, we have come before You, Father, who have dominion over our lives and deaths. Therefore, please accept us, and please take us according to Your proper Will.

We want to sing praises to You while belonging to the realm of life, but our natures of sin which belong to the realm of death are still enslaving us today. Oh Father, who has been carrying out the providence of salvation, in order to guide us into the new realm, please manifest Yourself and remove the power of death and allow us the grace of life and resurrection.

Oh eternal Father! Please allow us to move as beings of life who have the value of creation, and we earnestly hope and desire that You will allow those of us who have bowed down to become people who are able to sing Your praises, who are able to praise Your extraordinary beauty and who are able to sing of Your extraordinary goodness. We know the fact that through the fall of the human ancestors the destined relationship of life of heaven and earth was cut off; and through the betrayal of heaven by the archangel who should have sung Your praises representing the angelic world, he was not able to fulfill his responsibility of singing Your praises. Since You have called us today, through us please resolve Your indignation which has built up due to not having had Your praises sung.

Please discuss with us these internal situations You could not discuss, and please establish us as beings of a destined relationship that is able to connect all people and heaven. Father, We earnestly hope for and desire this.

We earnestly hope and desire, my Father, that You will lead us to become able to form a destined relationship with You as substantial beings of life who cooperate with You, and who offer all our loyalty to You, our Father, who has been looking forward to sharing the joy of creation with us. 

Please let us realize today the fact that heaven is looking forward to our standing before You as object partners, who are extremely cooperative today, and the fact that heaven is looking for people who will sing Your praises with deeply devoted hearts. 

Please allow us to become people who are able to stand as beings of endless grace, as beings who sing endless praises, as beings of endless cooperation with You, and as beings who have groped for and found the heart of our Father who established the idea of creation and has worked so hard until now in order to let us have dominion over everything.

We have humbly prayed all these things in the name of the Lord. Amen.
