REMEMBER: You are dust,
and to dust you shall return.
REPENT, and believe the GOSPEL+.

Most HOLY and Most Merciful ABBA...
We
confess to THEE and to one another and to the whole communion of saints
in Heaven and on earth and before Your Heavenly Host...
that we have sinned
by our own fault
in thought, word, and deed;
by what we have DONE
and by what we have
LEFT UN-DONE.
As it is written:
Thou
shalt love The LORD thy GOD, The ELOHIM, with ALL thy heart, with ALL
of thy soul, and with ALL thy mind, and with all of thy strength.
This is the first and great commandment.
So now, we confess to THEE, O LORD:
So now, we confess to THEE, O LORD:
We have FAILED to love THEE
with ALL of our strength.
with ALL of our strength.
+ + +
We all want to be "strong" , not weak, in mind, in spirit, in heart, and in body.
However, human strength at
its best is sheer weakness in the eyes of The ELOHIM. We are only
strong in the eyes of weak men who are naturally-minded, focused on this
transitory and temporary life. Natural strength passes away with the
sunset.
Scripture tell us:
HIS+ Strength is
made perfect
in weakness.
Therefore, the sooner we accept this TRUTH, the more we may draw upon HIS+ Strength.
The more honest and humble we become about our own natural power, the more joyous we grow in our weakness.
And HE+ said unto me,
My+ Grace is sufficient for thee:
for My+ Strength is
made perfect
in weakness.
Most gladly
therefore will I
rather
glory in
my infirmities,
that the power
of CHRIST+
may rest upon me.
Therefore
I take pleasure
in infirmities,
in reproaches,
in necessities,
in persecutions,
in distresses
for CHRIST'S+ sake:
for when I am weak,
then am I strong.
2 Corinthians 12: 9-10

Let us pray:
O LORD My+ GOD, I have been on the wrong track; I have sought human strength and prowess. I have foolishly set my energies to achieve all that my natural man could achieve in my own strength.
Help me to forsake the zest for fake, transitory strength and set my energies towards KNOWING YOU+, instead.
Change my view of weakness. Change my idea of REAL STRENGTH.
Melt me.
Mold me.
Fill me with Your+ Strength.
Use me.
In my weakness, I come to YOU+. Establish Your+ strength in my weakness, O LORD, however it pleases YOU.+
In The Name of The LORD JESUS CHRIST I pray .

Create in me a clean heart,
O GOD and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away
from Thy+ Presence;
and take not Thy HOLY SPIRIT
from me.
Restore unto me
the joy of Thy+ SALVATION;
and uphold me with Thy free spirit.

Ashes to Ashes,
Dust to Dust
in sure and certain hope
of the Resurrection
unto Eternal Life
through
JESUS CHRIST
our LORD.
