Please Let Us Have Lives Of Heaven

Please bear with our not being able to feel love when we come before Your majesty, and please bear with our not having been able to work hard for the world.

When we consider our Father's toil and our Father's sorrow and our Father's course of hardships, please allow our minds to be able to feel sorrow, please allow our minds to be able to feel the hardships, and please allow us to become sons and daughters who are able to feel that pain.

Since we know that it will not do unless we become those kinds of sons and daughters, oh Father of love, please allow us to have the love of heaven. And since we are sons and daughters who have gathered to find heaven while we are living, even if we cannot stand before You in view of all our sins, please bear with us, for we have bowed down before You longing for the grace of resurrection which You have established through an altar of blood, having fought for 6,000 years.

My beloved Father, we earnestly hope and desire that You will please allow our minds to be able to give You joy, and please allow our bodies to be able to give You joy, and please allow us to offer everything to You as Yours.

Now please discern each individual's innermost thoughts, and please allow us to be able to search and see what the center of hope is and what the goals sought for are, which are penetrating the center of each one's heart. If there is something centered on ourselves, please allow us to realize that we have not been able to find and establish the center of heaven in front of the will of the providence, and please guide us to evaluate ourselves and not to be disobedient against heaven's will.

Please allow us to admit sincerely that we are sinners, bowing down before You on our own to report everything truthfully to You. Please let only earnest adoring hearts which are able to repent with tears before You, Father, flow into and overflow in Your sons and daughters' minds and bodies. And we earnestly hope and desire, my Father, that You will bring about the work of rebirth centered on those hearts.

Since we have bowed down before Your knees, oh Father, please allow all the doors of our hearts to open and be filled with the will of heaven. Then please allow us to experience Your heart, and please allow us to appear as the people of glory that You are hoping for.

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