Did you ask why it is important to pray during the predawn? When you consider an entire day, the predawn is completely different to other times. It is an especially spiritual time. It is the time that you can feel the Trinity more strongly because (that is when) the world is calm. In other words, it is the time when the Trinity can work upon you relatively more powerfully.
I told you that the spiritual world is a world of waves, right? When the world is calm, you are free from the worldly waves. That is why I said that the predawn is a time when you are impacted more strongly by the Trinity than in the daytime, when the world is awake.
- The predawn is the beginning of the day: You must pray before you start whatever work you need to do in order for Me to become the owner, take control of that work and do it with you. I told you this, right? The reason why you come before Me in the predawn and pray is so that you can live your day with Me.
- The predawn is when you receive My plans for your day: It is the time when you make plans and discuss them with Me, to find out what to do and how to do it. No matter what you do, the result will be completely different depending on how much you prepare and what your mentality is like. Isn’t that true?
- Predawn is the time when you receive My plans and set your heart to put My plans into action.
At this time you receive My shimjeong. You can receive My waves much stronger than at any other time because the world, which sends you different waves, is sleeping. I will pour My shimjeong out [upon you] at this time [,the predawn,] while you are lending your ears more carefully and your heart is more directed toward Me. Therefore, this time is the most opportune time [for Me] to teach you My shimjeong. The relationship between people can be built more solidly when they confide in each other, telling deep stories and expressing shimjeong. This is the same for me (*shimjeong-“in one’s heart of hearts” means “in one’s private thoughts and feelings; deep within one)
Predawn is when you make stories with Me, while conversing with Me. It is like the time when you meet people and confide in them, sharing deep stories with them, instead of meeting them to have ordinary, everyday conversations. This is like the time you secretly meet one person, instead of meeting with a group. I love you so much that I have designs to give you. Yet, you cannot receive them because you fail to do your responsibility of waking the predawn. I love you so much that I have many words of shimjeong for you. However, you do not even come to Me to listen to My words, by doing your responsibility of waking the predawn. Do you know how much My heart burns?
Things do not get done just because I do them alone. It is only when you do your responsibility that you can meet Me and you can be with Me.
Furthermore, this is the time when you can ask me for your secret things. In other words, it is when you need to ask for and receive My great and perfect plans, not yours. This is the time when you need to speak to Me about your problems and discuss Them with Me. [Predawn] is the time when I listen to your reports more carefully and consider them greatly. When you report things, sometimes you just speak about it vaguely to the person in charge. There are also times when you document it according to the set format and submit [the report] to the person in charge. There is a great difference between the two. Reporting to Me during the predawn is like this.
At this time your heart is equable, like the ocean, because it is not being influenced by other things. This is the time that you give only to Me and I also give only to you. That is why you and I can meet even more deeply. I, the Almighty Holy Son, made My precious time available only to you. However, are you engrossed in sleeping, rather than coming to meet Me? You must be thankful and grateful that I gave My time to you. You must come to Me with an excited heart, thinking about what you will talk about and [wondering] what I will talk about. Isn’t that right?
Why don’t you get up and pray at this time? The reason why you get up in the predawn is to meet with Me. Therefore, you need to focus on Me, as the core of your predawn, shouldn’t you? When you call Me during the predawn, we are so close to each other that it is just like we are touching skin to skin. After you call Me, is it ok for you to be engrossed in your own thoughts or to fall asleep? You wake the predawn to engage in love with Me, don’t you? Come to Me while feeling Me who is right next to you. By doing so, meet with Me. Now that you know why you have to wake the predawn, what you should do with Me during the predawn and what I want you to do during the predawn, I hope that you will take action.
