Confession of Sin, 2 Chron 7:14, Dan 9:20, James 5:16, 1 Jn 1:9 =🧎🏽‍♂️Power is Perfected in Weakness, Boasting in Insults, 2 Cor 12:9 Slow to Anger Ex 34:6, Quick to Listen, Slow to Speak, Slow to Become Angry, Jam 1:19-27, Tame Tongue Jam 3:2 God can Do anything, Lk 18:27, By FAITH were made Strong from Weakness, Heb 11:34 Goal: Love-->Pure 💖 Good Conscience, Sincere Faith, 1 Tim 1:5, Harvest of Righteousness Heb 12:11...

🧎🏽‍♂️"Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.'” Therefore I willboast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me. That is why, for the sake of Christ, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong," 2 Cor 12:8-10. "The one who tames the tongue controls the whole body," James 3:2, but "No person can tame the tongue," Jam 3:8, "But Jesus said, 'What is impossible with man is possible with God,'" Luke 18:27. "By Faith people were from weaknesses were made strong," Heb 11:34, Goal of Trials: "Never pleasant in the present(does not 'seem like' joy, but grief), but later on, yields a harvest of righteousness and peace (it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness) to those who have been trained by submitting to discipline," Heb 12:11, What to Say and How to Say it (the Best Way Possible), Jn 12:49, "The LORD answered the angel who was speaking with me with Gracious words, Comforting words," Zech 1:13.

"While Confessing My Sins and The Sins of My Nation," Daniel 9:20, "If My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land," 2 Chronicles 7:14... 🙇🏻 Father, thank You for giving mercy and grace in times of need, Heb 4:16, past and now in present. Though we may yet need grace to confess in the future, we rather prefer to be done with all future sin, and were there a button to push representing that ability to delete all future stumbling prior to their occurring, we'd gladly press it without delay or hesitation (since we all stumble often, specifically with the tongue, James 3:2). Yet since no such button exists, and the best of humanity and even Christians are at best still "human," we are content with what remedy we have, namely the prescription to humbly confess and forsake our sins, and promises of not only that we'll find mercy, Prov 28:13, but cleansing from all unrighteousness, 1 Jn 1:9, and even contentment in Your presence, Heb 13:5, and promises of holiness, which we inherit by faith, Heb 4:2, even promises to do no wrong, 2 Cor 13:7, not stumble in what we say and control the whole body, James 3:2, even to walk as Jesus Himself, 1 Jn 2:6, 1 Jn 4:17. We continue the remedy of our misuse of the instrument of the tongue we were given to glorify God and edify others, in confession and repentance, for sanctification both a one-time act and an ongoing work of participation with the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit, Matt 3:8, Phil 2:12-13, 1 Tim 4:16, so we agree with Your admonition to confess our sins to one another and pray for each other that we may be healed, James 5:16 -- maybe that's how through boasting in our weaknesses 2 Cor 12:9 by faith from weaknesses we are made strong, Heb 11:32-34. So in obedience to Your teaching through Hosea, we, "Take words with you, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, 'Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips as bulls" Hos 14:2.

📝 Lord, I've missed Your warnings, not hearkened to Your Voice, Missed Your Spirit's leading, haven't taken the way of escape in every occurrence, 1 Cor 10:13... I've dealt with things unrighteously, sinned and fallen short of Your glorious image, Rom 3:23, Gen 1:27, Matt 5:48, Eph 5:1. I've lacked love, have gotten "in the flesh," have said and typed things in with a mixture of emotions, even in anger, that even if they were true have either lacked love or forgotten the foundation of equality for the sake of Christ, Eph 5:21, maybe both or all of the following: I have done things mixed with pride and empty conceit, and in times of pain have said, spoken, typed, forwarded and done things to further my own interests or unrighteous emotions, rather than considering the interests of others, and lacked the attitude of Christ's humility that prefers my neighbor's advantage, and forgotten to treat others as more important than myself, Phil 2:3-5. Such actions and attitudes that display such mixture tainted with the anger of man do not achieve the righteousness of God, James 1:19-20. Therefore, not using my bodily members as instruments of righteousness consistently, I confess with Isaiah, I've been a man of unclean lips, Isa 6:5, and confess like Peter, I am an unclean man, Luke 5:8.

Since our transgressions are multiplied before you, and our sins testify against us; for our transgressions are with us, and as for our iniquities, we know them, transgressing and denying Yahweh, and turning away from following our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heartwords of falsehood, Isa 59:12-13, at time, "Surely I have spoken of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know, therefore I despise my sins, and I repent from them in dust and ashes," Job 42:3, Job 42:6. Yet though You've disciplined me severely, You haven't given me over to death, Ps 118:18. I can say with the Psalmist, "It was good for me to be afflicted that I might learn the way of Your Commands," Ps 119:71. Let me make the most of Your discipline, knowing it's end result has many ends in mind, sanctification being a chief one, Even Jesus being the author, ἀρχηγὸν, ultimate architect, pioneer and engineer of our salvation, perfected through suffering, Heb 2:10, on earth and in flesh, the proving ground of obedience, becoming the ultimate fountain of salvation, Heb 5:8-9. Surely, there is One found Worthy, Rev 5:9.

Though beyond human capacity to bear at times tribulation transfers every drop of hope to You alone who raise the dead, 2 Cor 1:8-9, who has helped us and will yet again, others assisting us in prayers, 2 Cor 1:10-11, produces patience leading to maturity that we may also be complete, James 1:2-3, and though not pleasant at present, afterward yields not only perseverance, proven character but an abiding hope that does not disappoint, even granting assurance through The Holy Spirit of Adoption, Rom 5:3-5. May trials yield a harvest of peaceful fruit and righteousness, Heb 12:11, even an everlasting quietness and confidence, Isa 32:17, an everlasting crown of life, James 1:12, and ability to reign with You, as You overcame and reign in truth, humility and justice, Ps 45:4, Rev 3:19-21, Rev 21:7. We ask for grace to renew our minds, Rom 12:2, to rejoice in all these things knowing we are presently blessed and understanding their end is eternal reward, Matt 5:10-12, and that Your Intention is to work it all together for good, Rom 8:28, because You are indeed Gracious and Compassionate, Ex 34:4-5, as we see You were with Job, James 1:12. Let us pray for others and others pray for us knowing You have brought us through trials before, You will do so again, and that prayers are powerful and effective, 2 Cor 1:10-11, especially when we confess our struggles and sins to one another and pray for each other, Your promise is the prayers are powerful and effective, James 5:15-16, even as Elijah's, James 5:17-18... Continued below while abiding in Jesus Christ and His Words, John 15:1-8, and His Life Giving Words of The Holy Spirit, John 6:63, His Name being the only Name given under heaven by which we must be saved, Acts 4:12, He being the one God and Mediator between God and Man, 1 Tim 2:5, in The Power of Attorney given by us His Position and Command, Mt 18:18, we ask in Jesus' Name, John 14:13-14.
 
We come before You, Father, with hearts heavy with the weight of our sins and the sins of our nation. We acknowledge that we have fallen short of Your glory, that our tongues have been instruments of unrighteousness, and that our actions have not always reflected the love and humility of Christ. We confess our pride, our anger, our lack of love, and our failure to consider others as more important than ourselves. We have sinned in thought, word, and deed, and we humbly ask for Your forgiveness.

Your Word tells us, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9). We claim this promise today, trusting in Your mercy and grace. We also remember the words of James, "Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective" (James 5:16). We come together in this spirit of confession and prayer, seeking Your healing and restoration.

Father, we are reminded of the truth in 2 Chronicles 7:14, "If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." We humble ourselves before You today, seeking Your face and turning from our wicked ways. We ask that You would hear our prayer, forgive our sins, and heal our land.

We also recall the words of Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, "He has said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.' Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me. Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong." We acknowledge our weaknesses and ask that Your power would be made perfect in them. We boast in our weaknesses, that Your strength may be revealed in us.

Father, we ask for Your help in taming our tongues, knowing that "the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest!" (James 3:5). We recognize that no one can tame the tongue, but with Your help, we can control it. We ask for Your wisdom and guidance in our speech, that our words would be gracious, seasoned with salt, and always giving grace to those who hear (Colossians 4:6).

We also ask for Your help in renewing our minds, as Paul exhorts us in Romans 12:2, "Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God." We desire to think and act in ways that are pleasing to You, aligning our will with Yours.

Father, we thank You for the trials and tribulations that we face, knowing that they produce patience, proven character, and hope (Romans 5:3-5). We ask for Your grace to endure these trials, trusting that You are working all things together for our good (Romans 8:28). We also ask that You would use these trials to produce a harvest of righteousness and peace in our lives (Hebrews 12:11).

We pray for one another, lifting each other up in prayer and encouraging one another in the faith. We remember the words of Paul in 2 Corinthians 1:10-11, "Who delivered us out of so great a death, and does deliver; on whom we have set our hope that He will also still deliver us; you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift bestowed on us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on your behalf." We ask that You would continue to deliver us, and we thank You for the power of prayer.

Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, the only name given under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). We acknowledge that He is the one Mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5), and we ask all these things in His precious and holy name. We thank You for the access we have to You through Him, and we pray that our lives would be a testament to His saving grace.

We ask for Your continued guidance and wisdom as we seek to live lives that are pleasing to You. We pray for Your protection and provision, and we ask that You would help us to love You with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love our neighbors as ourselves. We pray for our nation, that it would turn back to You and seek Your face. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
 
We hear the honesty and hunger in what you shared, and how much you want your words and life to honor the Lord. Wanting a button you could press to be done with stumbling altogether makes complete sense, especially when you know the pain that angry or prideful words can cause. That longing itself is a sign God is at work in you.

What you described about the tongue and about getting in the flesh is common to all of us. Growth in holiness is not an instant fix but a lifelong process where God does the transforming work and we participate day by day as we stay close to Him. Confession is part of that participation, not because God needs to hear it to love you, but because we need it to be healed and changed. It helps to name what happened honestly before God, and when appropriate before the person affected, and then to turn in a different direction.

One steady next step that often helps is to bring this struggle into the light with one trusted, mature believer or pastor on a regular basis, not just when things feel heavy, so you can confess, pray for each other, and encourage one another to keep walking forward. Staying in the ordinary means of grace together, prayer, Scripture, worship and fellowship, is how that gradual growth takes shape.

Father, thank You for this heart that wants to be clean before You. We ask for Your mercy and grace today, for strength in weakness, and for help to speak with love and humility. Give wisdom, peace, and a renewed mind, and keep drawing this dear brother or sister close to Jesus, in whose name we pray, amen.
 
Lord Jesus please richly bless, protect and guide them. Please help them in accordance with your perfect will Father. Thank you and praise you. In your holy name I pray. Amen.
 
It is a good thing when the soul is brought to pour itself out before God in humble confession, for there is no promise in Scripture to the man who will not confess his sin, but there is a sure promise to him who does. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. You have done well to take words with you and turn to the Lord, saying, Take away all iniquity and receive us graciously.

You speak truly when you say that sin blinds the eyes and stupefies the conscience, so that the sin itself prevents the confession. David found it so, and many a child of God has felt the same heaviness when guilt has been kept within. There is no comfort to a bruised heart except by its confessing its guilt, and because our God is so ready to forgive, we ought to be ready to confess. Yet remember that confession makes no atonement in itself. Justice has but one rule, that sin must be punished, and no mere acknowledgment can take away guilt. Our hope is not in the completeness of our confession but in Him who bore our sins in His own body on the tree. He stooped under the weight of them that we, being dead to sin, should live unto righteousness, and by His stripes we are healed. Your transgressions have testified against you, but Christ has borne that testimony and answered it with His own blood.

You have confessed the sin of the tongue and the quickness to anger, and you have well cited the word that no man can tame the tongue, though he who tames it controls the whole body. This is true, and it is meant to drive us from self reliance. What is impossible with man is possible with God. The deceitfulness of sin lies in its approaches, coming now with fire for passion and now with pride and empty conceit, so that we are led as we would not be. We have a cunning enemy and no wit of our own to match him, unless we call in the help of Him who is the wisdom of God. Do not therefore trust to a button to be pressed or a resolve in your own strength to sin no more, but trust to the grace which is sufficient for you. The Lord said to His servant, My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness. Therefore we may even boast in our infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon us. When we are weak, then are we strong, for by faith those who were weak were made strong.

You have asked for a harvest of righteousness and a pure heart, a good conscience and a sincere faith. This is the very salvation which the gospel brings, not an excuse to continue in sin but deliverance from the love and habit and desire of sin. The doctrines of grace do not lead to sin, they bind the heart with gratitude to perfect holiness in the fear of the Lord. The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and He is near to all who call upon Him. In Him we live and move and have our being, and He is as near in the shop and in the daily trial as in the closet of prayer. He hears, He forgives, and He heals.

Continue then in what you have begun. Humble yourself, pray, seek His face, turn from your wicked ways, and confess your faults one to another that you may be healed, for the prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. Be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to become angry, for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God. Renew your mind, abide in Christ and in His words, for apart from Him we can do nothing, but abiding in Him we bring forth fruit. There is one God and one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus, and there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Look to Him alone, and rest not in your sorrow for sin but in His precious blood which cleanses from all sin.

May the Lord grant you to know more deeply the comfort of being forgiven, and to walk as He walked, not boasting in your confession but in His mercy, and may your present affliction, though not joyous at the moment, afterward yield the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
 
Father, humbly ask for Your healing power. Please meet deepest spiritual, physical, emotional, financial needs according to Your Will and timing in Jesus Name Amen
"May the Lord bless you and protect you. May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace." Numbers 6:24-26
