1. FATHER'S LIFE OF PRAYER

So far people offered prayers only for the sake of human beings. I don't do that. I say we should pray not only for us human beings on earth but also for the sake of heaven. We have to pray for the sake of Jesus. We have to return appreciation to Jesus who came down to this earth and prayed all throughout the night for our sake. We have to pray for the sake of God who has suffered until today. Also, we have to pray for the sake of all people. Those who live with that heart can be regarded as closest to God. It has proven to be true through experience. (6-344)

In my daily life, when I come across important problems I always pray to God and find a solution. I don't look for an easy solution. (43-33)

When I used to pray kneeling on the floor, my tears never dried. Do you understand? My knee had bumps on them. There is still a trace of the bumps on my knees. That's because I prayed in a shrimp position. These days I don't pray like that. In Korea there is a saying, "Is it possible for a tower which is made with lots of care to collapse? It will not collapse." I mean that we have to contribute to God. We have to enter into the state of mind where we feel pain in our heart to the extent that we become insane out of love and longing for God; if God dwells somewhere, don't you have the longing to go there 1000 times a day? Since there is no such place, God could not help but send me instead.

Since this is the situation, you can't help but love me. Do you have such a heart? In my case, when I prayed shedding tears, sometimes my cotton long underwear became wet. Think about how terrible that was. There were occasions, more than once or twice, when I prayed to God as seriously as if I were thrusting a dagger toward my body in order to demand a reply. (60-212)

I don't know how many times I prayed to the extent that my cotton underwear got all wet. Also, I don't know how many times I prayed and pledged before God with a knife in hand and holding it to my stomach. Of course I don't know how many times, how many thousand times I prayed with determination. (19-19)

I have been suffering for the sake of the Will until now. Even now I am following that path whether I am awake or asleep. Those who have not experienced attending me closely cannot understand me well. Even when I'm trying to sleep, as long as I'm awake, I pray on my stomach.

Why do I live like that? Even today there are my beloved children around the world who are praying to God through me. So I think I should be with them, and I should not be behind them in offering my devotion. So when I go to sleep, even God does not know when I'm asleep, so God forgives me when I sleep. Just like parents watch their tired children sleeping so God watches me and prays for me in my stead. (26-138)
