The Prayer of Karis 5

Art Description:

From the artist:

"The affirmation is not mean to deny yourself in pain and to pretend happy or joy all the time. Practical affirmation can be possible when our unhappiness and suffering are removed from the root. Our attitude toward God is same as this. We can try to forget ourselves in pain because of the idea that we should respect and fear God, but if this attitude is dominant, the heart and conversations with God are more formal than frank. It would create a distance between God and me. The prayers of David, Job, Moses, Elijah, Paul in Bible are sympathetic to God and widely cited even in modern times' the biggest reason of it is that their prayers were straightforward and honest.

This work contains the content of speak out to God in honest prayer about myself and the world in pain. It is composed of a total 6 parts and in parts of the Prayer of Karis 1-4 express personal suffering through prayer, and Prayers of Karis 5-6 are expressed for children who are suffering by poverty, violence, labor, war & other ailments.

The Prayer of Karis 5 is as follows:

Dear Lord,

                                   The most painful thing in my life of faith and my first hostility toward the Lord is that there is the differentiated states and situation from birth. In particular, children in cruel circumstances, who can't resist anything and can't any choice, become a human shields  on battlefields. Oh Lord, nobody want to born for die and pain. If you intend to sacrifice these children to grasp between good and evil in humans, please stop this cruelty, please save, keep and protect children from all that evil has created. All these prayers, I pray in Jesus name, Amen."
