Please Let Us Seek And Enter Into Your World Of Heart

Oh Father, who has not cast us aside
and who never rests while guiding us
through new love!
Even if we do not seem appropriate
in relation to your Will,
and we do not please you,
please relate to us with a mind of compassion.

Even so, we have earnest minds
that are seeking to enter your world of heart
and are avoiding the sinister world.

Therefore, we earnestly hope and desire, Father,
that you will come into our minds
and pardon them,
adding your compassion
as you look at our minds.

Since we know that you will not cast away a person
who appears and is concerned about your heart,
and who has gone forth seeking you
with an earnest heart,

please allow our minds
to dash forward towards your mind, Father,
and please allow our bodies
to dash forward in order
to be held in your embrace.

We earnestly hope and desire, Father,
that you will please incite our minds and bodies,
and that you will let our minds and bodies
be filled by a movement that can appear
and kick aside the angry, lonely, regrettable
history of sin.

Now our minds
long for your internal nature;
our bodies
want to look upon your external form;
our hands
want to hold your hand,
and we want to hold your body, Father.

We know that it is your central hope
in relation to humankind
that you want to have sons and daughters
who are able to sing of your love,
to have that kind of true sons and daughters.
Therefore we earnestly hope and desire, Father,
that you will let this become a time
in which at least our minds and bodies
are filled with that kind of heart.

We know that only if our lonely heart,
which rebukes what we have done wrong in the past,
and which reproaches how insufficient we are today,
explodes from within our innermost heart
and calls out to you,
only then will you hold on to us,
will you look down upon us,
and will you embrace us.

Therefore, Father, please allow us
to have that kind of heart.
We earnestly hope and desire, Father,
that by allowing us to be filled
with that kind of heart
and to recognize how inadequate we are,
there will appear in us an earnest mind
that is able to offer everything
to your majesty.

Even if we are faced with an environment
where we cannot find a place
for our body to stay,
and our minds which must head towards heaven
are wandering in the midst of chaos,

we know that you will not cast us aside
and you will lead us into your embrace
through your touch of grace.
Therefore, earnestly hoping
that you will raise up minds
that are able to bow down
and appeal before you,
we have humbly prayed all these things
in the name of the Lord. Amen.
