The Prayer of Karis 6

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 6 is as follows:

Dear Lord,

                                   Oh Lord, look at your children, who are suffering by selfishness and wickedness of people. If you are real their father, why are you so silent about their pain? If you are human, the impossible may be possible, but you don't any action for them even if there is no any impossible to you, Lord. You said, "Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?, If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him.", Please keep your word,  save your children. All these prayers, I pray in Jesus name, Amen."
