We know the fact that because of the fall of the original Adam and Eve, who were to attend you, that until now history has been a course of sorrow.
Humankind, who are the descendants of Adam and have sinned, have been pursued and driven out and have gone through trials as people carrying the burden of sin which remains. Please let us be able to feel indignant when considering this human history which has continued until today.
We know that you have gone through a historical course of toil; you have not distinguished between times or ages to find humankind again, because you have the responsibility of the creator who cannot forget humankind who has fallen to such a point, even if you want to.
Today please let those of us who are in this kind of position become people who, at the same time wament over ourselves, know how to feel pain about the truth that you have walked a path of endless suffering and toil.
We earnestly hope and desire, Father, that you will allow us to have minds that can feel indignant over humanity's having inherited the historical blood lineage of sin, and able to feel that we cannot raise our eyes when in your presence.
In our minds, the nature of sin remains, and we feel the fact that our bodies are still bound by the chains of sin. We are longing for you, our Father of mercy, to appear in your might and power, and we are longing to be able to become true sons and daughters. We know that you must be even more sorrowful when looking at your sons and daughters who have failed and who have not been able to cut off the wire net of sin or cut off the relationship of sin which comes into and permeates us and fights back.
Now please allow us to open the doors of our minds and escape the shackles of our bodies and possess new minds and new bodies, and please allow us to become sons and daughters who can appear before you, our father who is longing for us, as people who can call the original father our Father, saying, "Father! Since we are here to represent your will, please receive us!"'
We know that you hope that those kinds of historical victors will appear – sons and daughters who will be able to comfort your sorrowful mind, and fight with the enemy and be victorious.
Now we earnestly hope and desire that you will allow us to become sons and daughters who can call you our father from that kind of position, and who can comfort you.
Since we know that this is our hope, and it is your hope as well, please encourage us and lead us to that position. We will cling to your hand as you lead us, and we earnestly hope that you will let us become sons and daughters who have earnest minds and are willing to go on any kind of path of adversity.
We have humbly prayed in the name of the Lord. Amen.
