Father, we have gathered at Your knee on this day, after a week of fighting in the abode of evil, with the grace You have permitted us to embrace in our bosom. So please bear with us even if you find us unworthy in any way.
We have not been able to bring anything to give You, Father. Since we have come as objects of Your concern, Father of compassion, Father of omnipotence, Father of love, please do not leave us as we are now. Please take responsibility for us.
Since millions of evil spirits are surrounding us, seeking to take our lives, Father, please protect us. Please allow each of us to be submerged amid Your deep love and to sing of Your glory with our hearts. Father, we earnestly hope and desire that You will allow us to bow down before You at this time.
Since we know that there were, during our lives in the past week, actions You do not approve of, and many elements that cannot be displayed before Your Will, O Father of compassion and omnipotence, we earnestly hope and desire that You will appear with Your authority of victory, and grant us Your touch of re-creation.
Father, because this is a holy day, please bless the many religious groups that have gathered, representing the people. I also know that at this time, your lonely sons and daughters, who have built hidden altars to realize Your Will, are bowing down before You.
Therefore, please work by pouring sweeping grace over them as well, and please allow them to receive the final grace predicted for the Last Days. We earnestly hope and desire that You will work, Father, so that we can build the altar of the final victory and establish Your glory throughout the Korean Peninsula.
Since we, your sons and daughters, gathered here before You, entrust everything to You, Father, please receive us as living sacrifices, and please guide us so that not a single life will go astray from Your Will.
We earnestly hope and desire that you will allow us to become true sons and daughters who are able, even if Satan attacks us, to say without wavering that You are our Father.
Lonely sons and daughters are fighting difficult battles today, scattered in the countryside, and so we earnestly hope and pray that You will infuse Your omnipotent power of re-creation wherever they are gathered, and allow them all to testify that they are Your sons and daughters.
Hoping and requesting that you will receive and take charge of all that we have dedicated to you at this time, we offer these words in the name of the Lord. Aju! (September 15, 1957)
