(The Holy Son said, “I will teach you about prayer.” )
*The Holy Son’s Message* You need to pray wisely. When I tell you to pray, you pray saying, “Lord, Lord” but because you are not used to praying, you cannot pray very well. You must pray wisely. In order to pray wisely and clearly so that your prayers can be received, first, you should pray from My, Holy Son’s, point of view.
Prayer is a conversation. It must be realistic. Pray about what you actually feel and think. Prayer is a reality. . Pray thinking that I, the Holy Son, am next to you.
Many prayers are done without being conscious of Me. You need to converse [thinking about] the other person in front of you for it to be a real conversation. Since I am really in front of you, feel Me in reality and pray.
Prayer is like using your soul and going on a tour in advanced to the destination you want to go to. When you plan to go somewhere, the soul plays the role of finding out how to get there, what paths to take, what the weather is like, and what kind of geographical features there are. If you pray, the soul will move. The soul will go to the place where you want to go. Therefore, you will know how to get there, and you will realize what to expect when you get there and what you need when you go. It is like turning on the streetlamp one by one on a dark night, and it is like making a path through a dense forest. You need to make a path by praying for you to be able to get to your destination. The reason you are not able to pray very well from the beginning is that ‘the path’ has not been paved yet.
By praying deeply and clearly, make a path. A wise prayer [should be done in this way.] You should tell Me clearly about what you want, but speak to Me knowing My, Holy Son’s heart as you promise Me that you will do what I want. Prayers are certainly fulfilled. If you pray appropriately, then God and I, the Holy Son, certainly fulfill it. However, know that there are your responsibilities.
There is a secret to praying. When prayers reach Me, they come to Me as ‘written words.’ I can tell all those prayers [you mumble out] of repetition. However, if you are able to “write well” and inspire Me, the Holy Son, then even if the prayer was not appropriate in the beginning, or even if it might have been an incredibly big prayer, sometimes I allow and hear those prayers because of the condition of inspiring Me. I told you that you can capture Me with your words.
Prayers should also be done in a way in which you speak well and write well. At times, you should pray earnestly, beautifully, magnificently, and in a way that is sweet. You should pray in various different ways, since it is a conversation. Even when you meet people, if you say the same things every time, it’s boring, isn’t it? You need to meet in different ways. Then it is new. Pray wisely.
When I speak to you, answer and react to My words. That is ‘a conversation prayer.’ Prayer is a conversation. It is about ‘conversing with God and answering to each other.’ Start with changing the way you pray. Don’t forget that the prayer time is the time you giving your love to Me. Let’s converse always, and pray. Receive strength from it. Good bye.
