Please Let Us Have Hearts Of Hope Heading Towards You, Father

Father!
We know well that Jesus came to this earth,
and from the day that he knew the truth
and the more time passed,
his hope went beyond the family,
went beyond the people,
went beyond the nation,
beyond the world,
and even went beyond the infinite spiritual world,
having to become one with you, Father.

He knew that everything
from the beginning to the end
had to move together with you,
and he went a difficult path,
a sorrowful path, the path of the cross,
without minding them.

Father!
All the things we see in front of our eyes
look beautiful,
but please allow us to realize
that those things are merely phenomena
that are passing by with us.

We know that the things of the world that we like,
that we believe in, and that we depend on
are of no help in the world of our mind
or in the eternal world of hope.

Oh Father!
Please allow us to cast aside all these things,
and allow only hope centered on you
to become the entirety of our lives;
and we earnestly hope and desire
that you will allow it
to become the totality for our entire lives.

We know the fact
that we cannot become your sons and daughters
if we are not people who go out to the battle
and hold on to the fact
that living for you
and the hope of heading towards you
are more precious than anything we have
and more precious even than our lives.

Please allow us a powerful hope
that is able to laugh at even a peak of death
and overcome it.

Please do not allow that
to remain, just as hope alone,
but please let our minds,
which are burning with the impact of this hope,
to be able to become even stronger.

And we earnestly hope and desire
that you will allow us
to become sons and daughters
whose minds and bodies
are able to dash towards that path.

Please let us realize the fact
that unless a person has a strong idea of hope
that is for you,
unless a person has hope
that can overcome even the path of death,
you cannot believe in him.

As for our hope today,
we know it is not a hope we shall hold on
to for a few years and then give up;
rather it is a hope we shall hold on to for eternity.
And furthermore, we hope and desire
that you will allow us to become sons and daughters
who know that without this hope,
life is not rewarding.

Oh Father!
The more we think of you,
the more we earnestly hope
that you will allow us to have hearts of hope
that long for you,
hearts of hope that long for your life,
and hearts of hope that long for your love.

And until we are established as sons and daughters
who can be blessed together with your promise,
please do not allow our earnest minds of hope
to be taken away in our daily lives
along the course of our lives.

Since we know
that many satans are attacking us
in order to take this away,
we earnestly hope and desire
that you will allow us
to become sons and daughters
who are able to return glory to you,

by holding on to the mind of hope
you have permitted
and by fighting to the end.
We earnestly hope that you will
allow us to become sons and daughters
who are able to return glory to you,
by having held on to your hope
and by having fought with many satans
and won on the final battlefield which remains.
We have humbly prayed all these things
in the name of the Lord. Amen.
