Please Allow Us To Become Living Sacrifices Of Goodness Alone

Oh, Father of love!
Oh, Father of compassion!
By ourselves alone,
with just our strength,
we cannot possibly
separate goodness and evil
and raise goodness up
to be goodness.

Therefore, please reveal
the power of goodness
which heaven has sheltered
and the power of love
which heaven has hidden,
and please work
through the power of resurrection.

Please allow us
to be able to reveal
a power capable of being good
even in our unworthy position.

And our beloved Father,
we earnestly hope and desire
that you will allow us
to be able
to have the glory of resurrection,
and to be able
to bow before you,
having given our minds and bodies
fully for you
and to be able
to reveal glory
having spent our minds and bodies
completely.

Father!
Please purify our minds,
and please work
with your purifying touch
in the soul of each one here.

Please reveal what is
in the mind and body of each one,
Father, and purify each thing.
Since it will not do
unless all the improper elements
are divided out and cast away,

oh, Father,
please personally become
the master of separation
and the master of our hearts.

I earnestly hope and desire,
my Father,
that you will allow us
to be able
to separate good and evil
and then do away with evil,
and to be able offer ourselves
through one center
before the majesty of our father
as living sacrifices of goodness alone.

Oh, Father!
Please allow us to recognize
the unworthiness of ourselves
in front of your manifested external form,

and to discover that we ourselves
are in the realm of death,
having received
the power of the sins of the past.
In front of you, Father,
in front of the altar
of the glory of goodness,
please let us be able
to reveal ourselves
and please eliminate
any improper habits from the past
and any concepts
that keep us from believing you.

Please allow us
to receive a new stimulation of goodness
and to feel anew the value
of your internal nature
and to feel an impact
in our minds and bodies.

We earnestly hope and desire,
beloved Father,
that you will carry out
a work of repentance and inspiration.

Father!
Please accept us
and take dominion over us.

Please don't allow
even one person among us
to be dominated by Satan.

After going through your almighty works
and your works of efforts for recreation,
we earnestly hope and desire, Father,
that you will allow us to cast away
the force of today's habits.

Please eliminate at this time, Father,
all the unacceptable,
improper elements of sin,

and by personally intervening,
please act to fill all of us
with only the elements of glory
that you can take dominion over,

and we earnestly hope and desire
that you will completely
take dominion over us.

We humbly pray this
in the name of the Lord. Amen.
