Father! Please let us take a close look at our minds, and please let us consider our bodies, and please guide us to become sons and daughters whose minds and bodies are able to be moved to tears by your heart.

Father! Please let us take a close look at our minds, and please let us consider our bodies, and please guide us to become sons and daughters whose minds and bodies are able to be moved to tears by your heart.

We know that as all of the saints in heaven accepted and went the way of the will of the providence, they were ashamed and could not raise their heads before you, considering that they were descendants of the fall. We who are on the earth have bowed our heads before you, and since we must make an effort to possess the mind of our Father, we earnestly hope and desire, beloved Father, that you will please allow pride to be removed from within our minds, and please allow our bodies never to be disloyal to you.

As we come closer and closer to you, Father, we cannot help but bow down our heads, and we feel that we cannot help but report truthfully of our own accord about our sins. Please allow us to have earnest hearts that can admit on our own that we are sinners, and to wait for the touch of your compassionate love, and to long for your heart with our heads bowed. And if there remain in us any roots of the black darkness of sin, oh Father, we earnestly hope and desire that you will remove them.

And then please act to let us go forth pioneering a new path, following the commands you have given us at this time. We earnestly hope and desire, beloved Father, that you will allow us to possess the original strength of heaven which icanbring about new actions and receive new power.

Father, if we have some kind of theories, or if we have some kind of knowledge, ideology, assertions, or concepts, please allow us to be able to forget them all, and to be able to become like little children who long for you alone. And please allow us to be able to offer silently at the altar everything that our minds and bodies have.

Then we earnestly hope that you will mold and remake us once again through your new words, and we earnestly hope and desire that you will allow, to appear, here your direct work of re-creation through which we are embraced in your love.

We earnestly hope and desire that you will allow us to become your true sons and daughters who can return joy and glory to you and relieve your concerns.

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