Since We Have Repented For Our Unworthiness, Please Assert Your Dominion Over Everything

Beloved Father!
On this lonely course of restoration
which cannot help but be trod
whether one wants to or not,
who is there who will shoulder
again the burden of the destiny
caused by the fall?

Through the fall
of our human ancestors,
you came to embrace grief early, Father.
And enmity remained
in the minds and bodies of humankind.

And we know
that through the sinful history
of the unfaithfulness
of the Jewish people,
this enmity came to affect
the entire world.

At this time
when heaven and earth
are permeated with complaints
over this enmity,
we earnestly hope and desire
that you will open before us
the path for us to go.

In order to go on
the path you will lead us,
first we must find a place
where our lives can be at rest.

After that,
our minds and bodies
must become your place
to find peace,

and then we know
that your love
for which we long
must dwell
in our minds and bodies.

Oh, Father of compassion,
Father of love,
benevolent Father,

oh my Father
who has worked so hard
to reveal your will,
please reside in the midst of us!

Since we have come
before your knees, ashamed,
Father,
with our defiled minds and bodies
just as they are,
please bear with us.

If you do not bear with us,
if you do not become our standard
for going forth,
then there is no one more pitiful
than us.

Oh, Father!
Because you have been
our eternal ideal,
our eternal hope,
and our eternal life,

and you know the situation
we are facing today
and the entire will
we are hoping for,
it will not do
unless you appear to us
and take dominion personally.

First,
please allow us to become people
with elements of the original nature
and essence
which can receive your dominion,
and please allow our minds and bodies
to be able to be captured
by your words of bidding
and your work of construction.

And then, in front of your glory,
please allow to be revealed
your direct works of power
which will make us
unable not to surrender
even if we don't want to.

And we earnestly hope and desire,
beloved Father,
that you will take dominion
over all our minds and bodies
and that you will remove from us
the roots of sin
which you cannot endure.

Since the waves of death
are trying to sweep us away,
please block all those things.
And if personal enmities
have permeated us,
please remove them.

Are there any minds, or wills,
or thoughts, or insistence on ideologies
left that are centered on ourselves?

Oh Father,
please appear as the reality of power
and please only you take dominion
and assert yourself,
and mold all our minds
so that we may be able
to resemble your external form.
We earnestly ask you to allow this,
and we have prayed these things
in the name of the Lord. Amen.
