Please Allow Us the Destined Relationship of Father and Son Through Our Hearts

If we insist on any kind of ideologies centered on ourselves, or any concepts that we feel or are conscious of, please remove all of them.

We are facing a destiny of having to be recreated once again, and we have not been able to resolve our grief over needing to be restored. Therefore, we have realized that even if we have something that we can insist about imposingly before heaven, before You, Father, that cannot become any kind of condition or object partner. We know that no matter how we excuse ourselves before heaven and insist on our difficulties, we are sad and pitiful beings who cannot be compared to our Father who has worked unceasingly.

Now if we have realized that we do not become ourselves by ourselves, and that we are not ourselves, please let us long for the being of the original nature who has let us become ourselves, and please let us be able to penetrate into the mind of the original nature and to bow our heads before that master of the original nature. Our minds know that there is an absolute master of the universe. Furthermore, when we realize that this master is restraining all of our actions, please allow us to become sons and daughters who are able to feel in our minds that we are not beings who are facing a destined relationship without any purpose; rather we are beings who are facing a destiny of having to go through the course of a restricted environment according to an absolute purpose. Now we have gathered at Your knees and are imagining in our minds Your glorious throne, but since we do not know where our minds will wander, or in which direction our minds are heading, Father, we hope that You will please guide us in the direction where we as beings of the original nature are able to rejoice together with heaven.

Even if our faces are ashamed and we are ashamed to look up, please allow this to become a time in which we are able to long for Your heart, to look up at You, and to bow down our heads before You. We earnestly hope and desire that this will become a time in which You promise that even if we reach out to You with unworthy hands You will take hold of our hands, Father.

All we want is the reality of life of that one promise that we can cling to Your heart alone, Father, and that we can live together with You. Since we have bowed down before You hoping that those things will become the targets of glory about which we will be able to boast forever and ever, even if there are inadequate things about us today, please pardon us, Father.

Earnestly hoping and desiring that You will form with us a destined relationship of father and son which cannot be broken by establishing the hearts You want to establish, we have humbly prayed all these things in the name of the Lord.

Amen.
