We know that the day of victory you are hoping for has not yet appeared.

1

We know that the day of victory you are hoping for has not yet appeared.

When we think that for the sake of the final victory you have been walking a course of struggle covered with blood until today, we don't know what to do with ourselves.

We know that we must arm ourselves with truth and safeguard your Will, and we know that we must offer everything we have to go forth fighting for the sake of carrying out the Will of goodness which you desire.

Therefore, please let our minds and bodies be mobilized, and we earnestly hope and desire, Father, that you will allow the day to come quickly when we can return glory to you.

In order to find this one day, while going through the course of history, our ancestors were exhausted, went through suffering, and eagerly waited for the age of the Lord. But we know that due to humankind, the sorrow of not having been able to realize that yet has pierced heaven and earth.

Please let us know that to find that day of glory which you are hoping for, there have been blood-curdling complications through your having called our inadequate selves, our worthless selves, our incapable selves. We are grateful for your grace of having let us to determine and decide that we would offer all our minds and bodies to be able to fight for the Will.

Father, we earnestly hope and desire that you will allow us to become sons and daughters whom you alone can boast about, whom you alone can possess by your separating us from conditions of the accusation of Satan, and by your receiving us as offerings through purifying our minds once again.

Now, about the Will you desire, we will have to fulfill loyalty through our minds and bodies, and please allow us to feel a new grace through our minds. Please act, Father, so that we may experience and feel keenly the grace of your glory overflowing in our minds and bodies.

Please allow us to bow down before you and to place before you the content of how we have lived until now and the responsibilities we have not been able to fulfill. If we acknowledge that the contradictory knowledge of contradictory humankind cannot replace your truth, we earnestly hope and desire that you will allow us to place everything about ourselves before you, and to be filled with your grace.

We have humbly prayed in the name of the Lord. Amen.
