“A person who fights and bleeds profusely in the harsh process of building a new kingdom of peace, a Heaven of freedom, will not perish. The blood he sheds is not the blood of death, but a source of life. What he has achieved in this manner is the base we have to reach, embody in our lives and bequeath to our future generations. It is a painful reality.
“Oh, Heavenly Father! Your divine Will, which You have always wanted to take pride in, centering on the ideal of creation, has reached fruition in me. The man You have appointed has achieved union with the internal heart, which You have eternally wanted to take pride in before the world.”
You have to pray like this before Heaven and crave for the day of moving into the heavenly kingdom of liberty and peace where God can rejoice.” – Reverend Sun Myung Moon
Often
Often, our life is not aligned with God,
Often, our heart just misleads us,
Often, our mind is scattered, in pieces,
Often, we are torn and tear others into pieces.
Often, we want to live in a better way,
Often, we are careless how others feel,
Often, we simply turn away,
Often, we are proud for our deeds.
Often, our mind goes to the east,
And often, our body stays in the west,
Often, we loose harmony,
and often, our days are in disunity.
Often, we cannot see the Light,
Often, we claim to be right,
Often, we fail to admit,
Often, our actions are fake.
Always, there is a way,
Always, He, who is still waiting,
Always, Salvation and Truth,
Always, Pray, Redeem and Change,
So God’s Blessings can be upon on you
and through you on others!

Mantra for the Happy and Liberated Life
I have power over my life and faith, I have power to re-create, I have power over goodness!
It is only me who is responsible for my joyful life what is ahead of me and I am responsible to make the world of happiness available for others, too!
I decide to create the world of delight, maturity, fulfillment and live in it!
As a co-creator I’m establishing the world of goodness in every day of my life with my desires, thoughts, words and deeds and as I share my goodness I accept the goodness of others in my life!

Prayer Must Be Serious
The power of prayer works wonders, but prayer must be serious and done with one united heart, not a divided heart. When the moment of marriage comes, it is a most serious moment in life for both men and women. In that moment you become dead serious, but prayer is even more serious than that. If you pray with that attitude then it will be answered. If your parents are on their deathbed it is a serious moment and the words you speak then are urgent. There is no way you could doze at that time. Your prayer to God is more serious than that.
Prayer is like a covenant between you and God, a promise. Once you make a contract, you follow through and, then it will undoubtedly be fulfilled. That is the attitude I am talking about.
You must not be disappointed when prayer is not answered, immediately. Some answers come late. At other times you should not be overjoyed when prayer is answered, quickly. Because you are surrounded by the world, there are many stages to go through horizontally and vertically. The answer to prayer does not come from you, but down from heaven and it takes time to reach you. There have been many foolish people who prayed wanting to receive the answers up to a point but who didn’t go the final inch, and when they weren’t satisfied they betrayed God. When you pray for the world you may not see things changing immediately around you. So you may think that the prayer is meaningless. But far away the communist world starts to crumble. The impact of prayer can be felt in a far-away place. If you are in the Abel position, the answer comes from Cain and it takes time to reach you.
Depending on the type of prayer you pray today, some prayers may be fulfilled one thousand years from now. I pray such prayers. I am not praying just for this world today; I am praying for 1,000 and 2,000 years from now. If that prayer makes a bridge between that time and now, then the Unification Church will continue to flourish even a long time after I am gone from the earth. That kind of prayer is needed. If many of you pray that kind of eternal prayer, the world will start to shake and the impact will be far-reaching. The root of that prayer is your tears, sweat and blood, and out of it beautiful flowers will blossom. When Jesus prayed in Gethsemane he was deadly serious, shedding tears, sweat and blood. Deep prayer is not a short prayer of one hour but ten hours, and all day long with seriousness in your heart. Such prayer will move God and history.
What prayer position do you prefer? The best is to kneel and lower your head. You have to restrict your body’s freedom, as though it were bound. You will feel pain, but overcome it because you must be serious. Then, God will know your attitude – you are serious. That is a necessity for prayer. Without prayer Jesus and the saints could not have done the great things that influenced the world. The power and impact of prayer guided and made history. When you resort to the power of prayer, you can have hope because you never know when the fulfillment will come. However, so many times and occasions you forget about prayer.
My prayer is centered on the culmination of the third seven-year course. You may think I relax when I am alone, but there is no moment of relaxation because my mind is always concentrated on the completion of the third seven-year course. You must understand the importance of prayer and have conviction that prayer will be answered. Through prayer you can receive power. Through prayer you can receive visions into the future and guide yourself accordingly. You will know what kind of difficulty is coming and how to divert it and overcome it and prosper. If you know how to steer yourself then you can do big things, and prayer alone can pioneer such a path.
I go out to nature – woods, oceans, waters, and grassy fields – because it gives me a better environment for prayer, and I love nature for that reason. I love to pray through the quiet of midnight, because it is the best time for meditating. I don’t say much about the visions I receive, but if you receive them then don’t you think I do too? That kind of new world can only be reached through prayer. In that position you can taste love. This world is desert-like, you cannot feel the warmth of love. But the world created through prayer has a climate where love can thrive. You must learn and study how to generate your own power. You must make yourself self-propelling. In order to do that, prayer must be the diet of your life.
Whether, people recognize your efforts or not, you must do your duty enthusiastically. Do it because you have a covenant with God. Day and night you move on; there is no pause. That is a living testimony. Every several years my topic of prayer changes, which shows progress to a new era. In a prayerful mind I know precisely what time it is in God’s timetable. That kind of preparation is necessary for self-perfection, and you must learn it through the power of prayer. Do you pray in the way I taught you today? If you do so, please raise your hands. You must pray for His kingdom and His righteousness.

Thank You, Father, for giving me this dream!
Heavenly Father can bless with dreams…
Thank you Father, for giving me this dream!
Your True Son visited me and we were travelling as good companions,
We were laughing and sharing,
Your True Son made me feel worthy,
Your True Son let me forget my heavy heart.
For a while, Father, I could be my true self, again,
Abundant and someone who can fly away,
I was, who I meant to be,
I could be, whom You meant me to be.
Your True Son helped me to smile, again,
Your True Son was my brother on the way,
I was blessed with this dream,
Days have been long forgotten, the days like this.
And when I confessed my sin,
Your True Son didn’t turn away,
Your True Son sent me medicine to heal,
because You care about me, despite my ill.
Thank You, Father, for giving me this dream!
Thank You, Father, to let me feel…

My daylight is ending soon
Sometimes it’s half of a life to recognize where the straightest path is…
It has been a nice life
Could have been better
Closer to You, God
Not just in concepts
And beautiful ideas
But all the times
When I was tried
Put into misery
I should have been more aware
How to manifest Your love
Because You never complain
Neither You are unrigtheous
Only fight with a reason
What correlates with Your Creation
Vanity is not in Your vocabulary, Father
Nor the selfish desires
Though You are the master of
Ceaseless giving and
Love in action with
Firm desires,
Strong dedication,
For the Day to become one
You and I,
You and all of us,
Once and for all,
Again.
My daylight is ending,
Chances are getting a few,
And I’m losing my energy
As I fight the days through.
I think, I need to accept,
Father,
I might not be Your champion,
Or at least not the ultimate,
The best son,

I’ve been lost, Father!
God has always been there for each and every one of us…
I’ve been lost, Father,
You were who found me
When I would roam around
Carelessly, as I child
You found me again, Father,
When I was wandering
In the deserts of vanity
Forgetting my responsibility
And You found me again and again, Father,
When I couldn’t bear more
As I was tried to grow faster
To become Your true child
I’ve been lost, Father,
It was me, who lost myself
But You were ceaselessly there
Waiting for me to be like you.
I don’t want to be lost again, Father,
I just wish to stay with You
I hope one day You’ll find a place
In my heart and You’ll stay
For ever

Prayer for the daughter who confessed she wasn’t praying enough
A pure heart can show the true essence of life…
Dear Heavenly Father,
I’m praying for the daughter who has just confessed
and shared her heart
as she felt she wasn’t praying enough.
As she said, she skipped a few times to greet You arriving home
and she remembered she used to pray more before eating.
This was her second confession when she opened up in tears
just after the evening, just after closing the day.
Father, her heart is so pure,
You know it well, this is her 10th spring on Earth,
and she is deeply suffering about doing it wrong,
not to talk to You all the time.
Father, please, help this young soul to feel,
You are more about deeds than mandatory dogmas,
You are more about attendance and right examples
than any words could say!
I told to this daughter, daughter of Yours,
You are a parent
who lives by examples
and care beyond what…

My old self couldn’t find You, Father!
A prayer at times when it’s hard to speak…
My old self couldn’t find You, Father!
If there is anyone who knows it
it must be You.
You called me as Your child, Father,
by now I know I would misbehave
despite all the signs and hints.
Would You forgive me, Father,
if I told You a promise
once more, again?
I’m not sure if I could endure, Father,
to see a beloved one to go astray,
I feel I wouldn’t be able to bear the pain.
I can’t imagine just wonder, Father,
how You were able to survive
to see me fail.
I’ve been praying with a closed mouth, Father,
because I feel the weight,
Now I’m trying more than ever
to bring You joy beyond the grief!

Every heart is waiting
True connections what we are all longing for…
Every heart is waiting
to be loved again
Every tear-drop is waiting
to be dried again
Every smile is waiting
to be seen again
Every laugh is waiting
to be heard again
Every lost one is waiting
to be found again
Everybody who suffers is waiting
to be saved again
What about You, Father?
Are you waiting to be loved again?
Are you waiting to see our smiles again?
Are you waiting to hear our laughs again?
I know, you are waiting your tears to be dried
and to feel free inside with an easy heart – at last.
