This time now is like the time when the Israelite people were in confusion 2,000 years ago, the time when the Messiah had to come. We are now facing such a time, and we know that we are facing a time when it will be difficult to discriminate between what is true and what is false.
Until now there have been many teachers who worked hard in the course of past history, and we have followed many leaders, but today we have lost the center of our minds on which we should depend. We know that you know that today humankind is facing confused living circumstances. Therefore, Father, please control our lives, please control our minds, and please control our ideas so that we may have a joyful time when we can live depending on our natural disposition.
Today as we live in such a confusing world, please allow our minds and bodies to spread this idea. Please let our bodies witness it through our daily lives, and please allow us to be grateful in our minds. And we earnestly hope and desire that you will allow us to be able to receive the blessing of being your sons and daughters who have fulfilled the mission of restoration and be complimented as the sons and daughters you desired. Father! Please supervise our minds.
More than anyone else, our minds know better the way we must go. Since our minds desire to go along the original true path, Father, please grant ts the truth and the religion that are able to realize our mind's desire, and please guide us to be able to accomplish the will of the providence of salvation. Since the entire religious world is divided into many denominations, and is in confusion, Father, please take pity on it.
We know that the problem here is not which religious body, or which group, or which denomination. Therefore, we earnestly hope and desire, Father, that you will allow us to understand that the main point of truth and the entirety of truth is having an internal heart that you can recognize and going forth with an earnest heart that can experience your mind. Now even if we run into adversity, the time is near when your will must be realized. Therefore, please allow us to go through the adversity and to have minds and bodies that can see your glory. And we earnestly hope and desire that you will guide us to become your sons and daughters who even alone win over adversity and while worrying about your heart, unknown to others, raise an altar, and offer everything to resemble your mind and to experience your heart.
We have humbly prayed in the name of the Lord. Amen.
