Hymns Are Prayers With a Melody
찬송은 곡조 있는 기도
I will give you a gift of prayer. Please recite after me. It’s very simple: “Give us boundless joy and delight, grace and smiles.” Offer this prayer repeatedly. Continue praying and your closed heart will open up. Beseech earnestly and grace, the spirit of the triune God, will pour down upon you. I gave this prayer last Sunday to some people and this is exactly what happened to one of them. The faces of one family were stiff and hard, but one family member offered this prayer continuously. His mind not only opened up, but the faces of the rest of his family members softened as well. Repeat this prayer continuously. Uneasiness cannot find any foothold in a person who is ceaselessly connected with grace. That person will be constantly overflowing with joy and delight. After being connected with grace, this prayer will be one of the most vital ways to keep oneself clothed with ever more grace. In conclusion, although it is important to listen to a sermon as valuable as the one I am giving you today, it is much more important and valuable to make every effort, even for one extra second, in order to receive more grace. Therefore, the prayer which I have given you today is simple but precious. Whenever you beseech intently with this prayer from the bottom of your heart, all four will be granted.
