God, only today do I realize that I used to rebel against You. I am truly corrupt and hateful. I have only been wasting my life. From today I will live for You. I will live a life of meaning and will satisfy Your intentions. May Your Spirit always work in me and continuously illuminate and enlighten me, enabling me to bear strong and resounding witness before You, and allowing Satan to see in us Your glory, Your testimony, and the proof of Your triumph. God! I am willing to fulfill my duty. I am only able to consecrate my whole being unto You, so that You may gain glory from us, so that You may enjoy the testimony borne by this group of us. I beg You to work on us, so that I may become able to truly love You and satisfy You and pursue You as my goal.

God, I have seen how truly lovely Your righteousness and holiness are. I resolve to pursue the truth, and my heart is determined to love You. May You open my spiritual eyes and may Your Spirit move my heart. Make it so that, before You, I cast off all negative states, cease to be constrained by any person, event, or thing, and lay my heart completely bare before You, and make it so that I may offer my entire being before You. However You may try me, I am ready. Now, I give no consideration to my future prospects, nor am I under the yoke of death. With a heart that loves You, I am willing to seek the way of life. All events and all things are in Your hands; my fate is in Your hands, and my very life is even more so in the palm of Your hand. Now, I seek to love You, and regardless of whether You let me love You, regardless of how Satan disturbs, I am determined to love You.
