When praying, first pray for this nation and this people, then pray for the Unification Church, and then pray for the descendants who will succeed this generation. (1968.11.4)

When you pray, you should pray first for your nation, then pray for the world, and then pray for the liberation of God. Do you think God is in a comfortable situation? But without knowing what they must do, without knowing how the fortune of this world is changing, many Christians are saying, "Oh Lord, please send me to Heaven." (14-65)

Today you must pray for the forbears who have toiled until this time and are now in the spiritual world, before praying for your own son and daughter. You must have such mind frame that longs for all of humanity to live well, before expecting yourself to live well. Before dancing, you must seriously worry about humankind which is still in the realm of lamentation. Also, you must have the mindframe which can represent the situation of Jesus who could not show an expression of happiness even when he was happy, and could not express joy even when he was joyful. (4-125)

Those who have faith in religion for their own benefit will abandon God when they receive the Blessing. It is because receiving the Blessing is their goal. After a while it will fall apart. You must pray from the viewpoint which seeks to find what God is desiring. Then we must pray God to bestow blessings upon the whole world.

A person of faith must pray a public prayer--a prayer for something greater. (28-271)

The one who sheds tears for the miserable nation shall received a national blessing, and the one who cries for the miserable church shall receive a church-level blessing, and the one who shed tears for the world shall receive a world-wide blessing. (1958.4.6)

If one has a spiritual experience, one will pray for oneself last. If you can enter into the realm of the sanctified spiritual world, you will come to pray for God first. Don't you think it should be so? At the moment when you meet your Owner, you must invoke blessings upon Him. Then afterwards you must also pray for Jesus: only after that you will understand the historical heart. Then you must pray in place of and representing the multitude of people who have fought for the great dispensational will in Christendom. Following the footsteps of all the innumerable prophets since the fall of Adam and Eve, you must pray, "Please allow me to become a offering that can resolve all their sorrows." After that is all fulfilled, you can pray for your loving children, and then pray for yourself. That is the way of heavenly law.

Today, if I claim to walk the correct path of faith, I must shed tears holding onto this world, must cry tearfully holding heaven and earth, must cry holding my nation, holding my church, holding myself, and at the last, pray requesting responsibility to be given to me. (1959.10.18)
