Part 2 Entreaty: Please Allow Your Work of Sanctification, Page 71

Please Allow Your Work of Sanctification

If it were not for You, Father, we could not be comforted. And we know that You cannot allow us Your glory. By any chance are our minds moved by sin and sometimes asserting our selves? We know the historical truth that acting centered on oneself became an act that betrayed the moral laws of heaven. Accordingly, we lay everything out before You and earnestly hope and desire, beloved Father, that You will allow us to receive the grace of sanctification. And then please allow our mind to manifest itself as Your mind and our body to manifest itself as Your body. And please let the desire You have take the place of our desire, and today please allow our fighting minds to be together with Your mind which is fighting for the will You desire. And we earnestly hope and desire, beloved Father, that You will give us the blessing of being able to serve Your one will alone with an indomitable spirit.

Until now the lives we have lived have been worldly, and we know we have not been able to come out from the midst of the falseness of sin. Now please allow us to find absolute value which transcends time and space, and through one center please allow us to offer everything we have to the will through which You seek to reveal that value. We earnestly hope and desire that You will allow us to establish a reciprocal standard where our minds can be harmonized in front of that will and that we will be able to have the joy of being able to sing in the midst of heaven's glory.

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