Father! Please Have Compassion

Father of compassion!
Father of love!
If you just leave
these pitiful people
as they are,
they will never be able
to get out from
under the shadow of death.

What is there for those of us
in this situation
to be proud about
and how can we come before you
saying we are right?

What do we possess
that we could come before you
defending ourselves?
We have nothing.

The only thing we have
is our inadequacy,
and the only thing we feel
is our awe-stricken mind.
Therefore, please have compassion,
Father,
for these people of death
who are hoping
for your compassion,
your benevolence and your mercy.

All of us are looking towards heaven,
eagerly waiting for your hand
to reach out to us.
Therefore, we earnestly hope and desire,
Father,
that you will have compassion for us.

The time of the providence
is hastening the Last Days,
and the waves of death
have swept around us
and without any exception
seek to swallow us.

We know that you know
we are faced
with a chaotic environment,
and your heart
which worries about us
remains on this earth,
as do the footprints
of your hard work.

We know that as you look at all this,
your mind is inexpressibly anxious;
therefore, Father,
we earnestly hope and desire
that you will lead us
and have compassion for us
at this time.

If we have lonely hearts,
let us empty them out
at this time
and we must change them
and take on your heart.

If we are sorrowful
and have inexpressibly
frustrated hearts,
we are in the pitiful situation
of having to exchange them
for your heart of joy and life.

Oh Father who knows this,
in spite of our being those
who should take responsibility
in your stead and relieve you
of your difficult position,
you are taking care of our
difficult situation.
And we earnestly hope
and pray, Father,

that you will bear
with the fact that
we are within the fallen realm
and have to receive strength
from you again.

Father!
Please allow our hearts
to be able to communicate
with each other.
We, who have been languishing
in the realm of death

and who had no destined relationship
and were not acquainted,
have gathered together
referring to each other
as the members of one family.

Since we have gathered together
adoring the idea
of your heavenly providence,
Father,
we earnestly hope and desire
that you will have compassion
and come to us.

Could anyone have confidence
in front of you, Father?
Since you have said
that you have confidence,
we have hoped
to have confidence, too,

and since you have said
that you feel this wav,
we too hope to feel that.
If this is false,

Father,
please bear with us,
and we earnestly hope and desire
that you will
personally take dominion.

Even when coping
with a sad situation
relating with humankind,
your sons and daughters
could not have a situation
where they could speak
out their minds,

and even when faced
with a difficult situation,
they had no family members
with whom
they could open their hearts.
We earnestly hope and desire
that you will take pity on them.

We know that in the world
connected to your heart,
we move transcending
the distances of time and space.

Therefore, at this time also,
connected to that same heart,
if the mind of heaven moves
please let our minds
be moved as well.

Please inspire us by reaching out
with your grace for all,
and we earnestly hope and desire
that you will connect us
to your heart again.

We have humbly prayed
in the name of the Lord. Amen.
