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, with ALL of thy mind, and with ALL 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
with ALL
of our Mind.

Likewise, our MIND is a DOOR. We stop temptations to sin, derogatory thoughts, urges to rebel against rules --- domestic home rules, public ordinances, and GOD'S HOLY ways --- at the DOOR of our MIND.
But The LORD has given us a WATCH-DOG : His+ Word. It will keep the "stray dogs" of the world away from our MIND. Let us honor this Divine Protector well, and set it to WATCH OVER THE ENTRANCE.
Let us Listen to the Apostle's admonishments about what to DO with our MIND:
Where do we stop stray dogs from entering our home?
AT THE DOOR of our house.

Casting
down imaginations,
and every high thing
that exalteth itself
against
the knowledge of GOD,
and bringing
into captivity every thought
to the
obedience of CHRIST;
2 Corinthians 10:5
Let us Listen to the Apostle's admonishments about what to DO with our MIND:
Let this mind be in you,
which was also
in Y'SHU+ the M'SHIKHA:
Who+, being in the form of GOD,
thought it not a thing to be held onto
to be equal with GOD:
But made HIMSELF+ of no reputation,
and took upon HIM+ the form of a servant,
and was made in the likeness of men:
And being found in fashion as a man,
HE+ humbled himself,
and became obedient unto death,
even the death of the cross.
Philippians 2: 5-8

Let us pray:
Heavenly FATHER, take my mind away from worldly concerns. YOU already know the things I have need of before I ask.
Your Word is TRUTH. Sanctify my mind, so that I agree with Your Word in thought and in purpose and in deed.
Grant me an understanding of Your Word so that I can replace my earth-bound thoughts with Your Word.
I ask to have the Mind of CHRIST, as promised, so that I may perfectly love YOU and worthily magnify Your Holy Name, through The LORD JESUS CHRIST.

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 RUACH ha KADOSH
from me.
Restore unto me
the joy of Thy+ SALVATION;
and uphold me with Thy free spirit.

Ashes to Ashes,
Dust to Dust
