4. A PRAYER FOR US

Dearest Heavenly Father, Our young boys and girls have gathered here in this place. They did not come from one region, but gathered here from all the regions of this country. Father, please have mercy on their future.

Please make them boys and girls who were born not for anyone else, but for You. Make them fighters not for others but for You. Make them a flock who will live for You, rather than for anyone else.

We have come to know what kind of path is the good path, and what kind of path is the evil path. We have also learned how Your bitter sorrow can be resolved, so please, Father guide us so we can take that road.

No matter what severe difficulties may confront us, You are walking this road, so make us children who sense the connection of parent and child, and choose this destiny.

We pray earnestly that even if sorrow befalls us, You will make us sons and daughters who know that if we overcome this, Your healing will be upon us. (47-90)
