Please Let Our Hope And Your Hope Correspond

Father!
We know that it is lamentable
that our minds have lost the place
where they can dwell,
and it is lamentable that
they have been deprived of their qualification
of being able to discuss
their value together
with the entire world and cosmos.

We know that the original human beings
had a direction to go,
and in an environment of freedom
where they had formed
a relationship with you, Father,
the great Lord of heaven,
they should have sung songs
of your value, sublimity, and goodness,

and they should have enjoyed
harmonizing with you
through your heart.

Human beings are searching around
in order to find again
the original position they lost,
and they are taking great pains today
also in order to find again
the original value they lost.

Our hope is to sing eternally
together with the Lord
in the garden of the purpose
where we are able to rejoice
by having harmonized our minds and bodies
and having linked our hearts.

From the day we move our footsteps
in the direction of that garden,
no matter what kind of difficulties
or sorrows we run into,
we earnestly hope and desire
that you will allow us
to become sons and daughters
who will not hesitate
until the day we obtain all those things.

We earnestly hope and desire
at the same time
that you will decorate with an unchanging value
that is more than adequate
to move the entire world of beings
in heaven and on earth;
at least our hearts,
which are sincere in relation to you,
are like the pine and bamboo,
and are always boiling up.

If there is a Lord of creation,
we can know even through reasoning
that such a being is to be longed for,
and we know that: this is your hope also.

We earnestly hope and desire
that you will allow us
to become your sons and daughters
who are adequate to win
over the dangerous world of sin,
the fallen world,
and to form a relationship with you
on that kind of standard.
We have humbly prayed
in the name of the Lord, Amen
