Good Morning ☀️

You won't believe how much I value your active participation in our community. Two years ago when I launched TTN, I was hoping that it would reach a point where people would be sharing their learnings, questions and thoughts.

By Father's grace, I am constantly planning for the future and exploring ways to ensure the sustainability of TTN and its growth.

Considering the costs of running the platform (server hosting, licensing and staffing costs), and our plans to expand TTN with additional tools like a public Torah-focused search engine, the upcoming ecommerce platform, and an advertising network, which option would you prefer?

Your input is crucial in this decision-making process as you are whom the platforms are for. Would you please indicate your preference, as it will play a pivotal role in shaping our platform's direction.

"And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before Yahweh in Gilgal."

1S 15

Wavy sheltered grid warp under bare feet.
There was one with tangled hair, he crouched in the corner, fingers splayed, spreading across the grid, wavy, sheltering, shrouding and tangling.
There was a disc that rotated, in its place, its paraphernalia, and it was empty then; the rays had left it empty but not silent.
Treading the lofty girders, slipping between the fingers...
True, there was a mesh to catch the bare feet.
The Gordian Knot, just like an onion.
Then we're into the closet. We cannot see the grid in the dark, you or I.
Cannot feel the wavy between our toes.

Thought for Today: Thursday August 24:

Remember today! YHVH can do wonders with a broken heart -- IF -- you give Him all the pieces.

PRAYERS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT – PART 3

Father, grant to us true family love, That we may belong more entirely to those whom You have given us, Understanding each other, day by day, more instinctively, Forbearing each other, day by day, more patiently, Growing, day by day, more closely into oneness with each other. (Colossians 3).

This is my comfort: that when I come to heaven, I shall understand perfectly what he has done for me, and then I shall be able to praise Him as I ought. Adonai, having this hope, let me purify myself as You are pure, and let me be no more afraid of death but even desire to be dissolved and be with You, which is best of all. (1 Thessalonians 4).

Use us then, our Saviour, for whatever purpose and in whatever way You may require. Here are our poor hearts, empty vessels: Fill them with Your grace. Here are our sinful and troubled souls: Revive them and refresh them with Your love. Take our hearts for Your home; our mouths to spread the glory of Your Name; our love and all our powers for the advancement of Your believing people; and never feel the steadfastness and confidence of our faith to diminish; so that at all times we may be enabled from the heart to say, “Yeshua needs us, and we Him.” (1 Timothy 1).

Our heavenly Father, we rejoice in the blessed communion of all Your saints, which You have allowed us to partake in. We remember before You all who have departed this life in Your faith and love, and especially those most dear to us. We thank You for our present fellowship with them, for our common hope, and for the promise of future joy. Let the cloud of witnesses, the innumerable company of those who have gone before and entered into rest, be to us an example of godly life, and even now may we be refreshed with their joy. With patience may we run the race that remains before us, looking to Yeshua, the author and finisher of our faith. Grant us entrance into the everlasting Kingdom, the glorious assembly of the saints, and with them ever worship and adore your glorious name, world without end. (2 Timothy 4).

O Heavenly King, the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth, who dwells in all places and fills all things, the treasure of blessings and giver of life, come and dwell within us and cleanse us from every stain, O Good One and save our souls. (Titus 3).

O Adonai, how great is the privilege of those who can look up with Holy confidence to You. How blessed are they who have You for their friend, You who made heaven and earth and have all things under Your government. We ask You to receive us into your favour, to adopt us into Your family, and to make all things work together for our good. (Hebrews 2).

O Adonai, come quickly and reign on Your throne. Often does something rise up within me and try to take possession of Your throne. Pride, covetousness, sinfulness, and sloth want to be my kings, and then evil speaking, anger, hatred, and a whole train of vices join with me in warring against myself and try to reign over me. I resist them, I cry out against them, and say, “I have no other king but Moshiach!” O King of Peace, come and reign in me, for I will have no king but You. (Hebrews 10).

With thankful hearts we remember all Your saints who have entered into their rest, especially those who we have known in this life. You have called them to the closer communion that awaits the faithful within the veil. Keep us united with them in one fellowship of Spirit, and at the last day gather us together with them into the joy of Your heavenly Kingdom, through Yeshua Moshiach our Adonai. (Hebrews 12).

Have mercy upon us, O YHVH and again have mercy upon us; who, at all times and in every hour, in heaven and on earth, is worshiped and glorified. Moshiach our good Adonai, the long-suffering, exceedingly merciful and extremely compassionate one; who loves the righteous and is merciful to the sinners of whom I am chief; who does not wish the death of a sinner but rather wishes that he repent and live; who calls all to salvation through the promise of blessings to come. Adonai, accept our prayers at this hour and at every hour. Establish our way, and guide us to carry out your commandments. Sanctify our soul. Cleanse our body. Straighten our thoughts. Purify our intentions. Heal our sickness. Forgive our sins. Deliver us from every destructive grief, distress, and heartache. Surround us with Your Holy angels, who guide and guard within their camp, so we may attain the unity of faith and the knowledge of Your infinite and invisible glory. For You are the Blessed YHVH now and forever and from all ages to all ages. (James 5).

Adonai Eloheinu, You know our sorrow better than we know it ourselves. You know how easily our fearful soul entangles itself with untimely and self-made cares. We pray, Adonai: Let us clearly discern their inappropriateness and scorn them proudly, these busy self-made cares. But whatever care You do inflict upon us, let us receive it from Your hand with humility, and give us the strength to bear it. (1 Peter 5).

O Adonai Eloheinu Almighty, whose most blessed Son burst the bands of death and rose again for us: Grant for His sake that we may pass through the grave and gate of death to our joyful resurrection. And, that we may do so, make us while here on earth to rise from the death of sin unto the life of righteousness; that, being risen with Moshiach, we may seek those things which are above, where Moshiach is seated at the right hand of YHVH. May we set our affections on things above, not on things on the earth, and may our life be so hid with Moshiach in YHVH now that when He, who is our life, shall appear, we may also appear with Him in glory; through the same, our only Adonai and Saviour, Yeshua Moshiach. (1 John 5).

Hear us, O never-failing light, Adonai our YHVH, the fountain of light, the light of Your angels, principalities, powers, and of all intelligent beings, who has created the light of Your saints. May our souls be lamps of Yours, kindled and illuminated by You. May they shine and burn with the truth and never go out in darkness and ashes. May the gloom of sins be cleared away and the lights of perpetual faith abide within us. (Revelation 1).

Glory to YHVH in the highest, and peace on earth to people of good will. We praise You, we bless You, we adore You, we glorify You, we give You thanks for Your great glory, O Adonai Elohim, heavenly King, YHVH the Father Almighty. O Adonai Yeshua Moshiach, only begotten Son, Adonai Eloheinu, Lamb of YHVH, Son of the Father: You take away the sins of the world. Have mercy on us. Adonai Yeshua, You take away the sins of the world. Receive our prayer. You sit at the right hand of the Father. Have mercy on us. For You alone are the Holy One. You alone are the Adonai. You alone are the Most High, Yeshua Moshiach, with Ruach HaKodesh, in the glory of YHVH the Father. (Revelation 11).

May the strength of YHVH pilot us. May the power of YHVH preserve us. May the wisdom of YHVH instruct us. May the hand of YHVH protect us. May the way of YHVH direct us. May the shield of YHVH defend us. May the host of YHVH guard us against the snares of the evil one and the temptation of this world. May Moshiach be with us, Moshiach be before us, Moshiach be in us, Moshiach be over us. May Your salvation, Adonai, be always ours this day and evermore. (Revelation 22).

PRAYERS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT – PART 2

Almighty YHVH, we give You thanks that You have given Your Son, not only to die for us, but to be our spiritual food and sustenance in the Holy sacrament of His body and blood. Teach us to consider the dignity of that Holy mystery and so to search and examine our consciences, that we may come Holy and clean to such a heavenly feast, in the marriage garment Your Scriptures require. (John 6).

O Adonai Yeshua Moshiach, You are the way, the truth and the life. We pray You allow us never to stray from You, who are the way, nor distrust You, who are the truth, nor rest in any one other thing than You, who are the life. Teach us, by Your Ruach Kodesh, what to believe, what to do and how to take our rest. (John 14).

Adonai Elohim Almighty, I thank You today for the privilege of being counted among those who have testified of You with their lives; of sharing the cup of suffering that Moshiach drank; and of rising again to life everlasting with Him, in body and soul and in the immortality of Ruach HaKodesh. (John 19).

Grant we pray, Almighty YHVH, that as we believe that Your only begotten Son, our Adonai Yeshua Moshiach, ascended into heaven, so we may also in heart and mind there ascend and with Him continually dwell. For He lives and reigns with You and Ruach HaKodesh, one YHVH, for ever and ever. (Acts 1).

Elohim Spirit, by whose aid the world’s foundations first were laid, come, visit every pious mind; come, pour Your joy on humankind. From sin and sorrow set us free and make us, Your temples, worthy be. Refine and purge our earthly parts, but oh, inflame and fire our hearts! Our weakness help, our vice control. Submit the senses to the soul. And when rebellious they have grown, then extend Your hand and hold them down. Immortal honour, endless fame, attend the Almighty Father’s Name. The Saviour Son be glorified, who for lost man redemption has died. Endless adoration and praise to You, O Spirit, we now raise. (Acts 2).

Late have I loved You, O Beauty so ancient and so new; late have I loved You. For behold You were within me, and I outside; and I sought You outside and in my un-loveliness fell upon those lovely things that You have made. You were with me and I was not with You. I was kept from You by those things, yet had they not been in You, they would not have been at all. You called and cried to me to break open my deafness; and You sent forth Your light to shine upon me and chase away my blindness. You breathed fragrance upon me, and I drew in my breath and do now pant for You; I tasted You and now hunger and thirst for You. You touched me, and I have burned for Your peace. (Acts 9).

With all my heart and soul, O YHVH, I thank You, that in all the changes of this mortal life, I can look up to You and cheerfully resign my will to Yours. I have trusted You, O Father, with myself. My soul is in Your hand, and I believe You will preserve me from all evil. My body and all that belongs to it are of much less value. With security and satisfaction, I trust all I have to You. (Acts 16).

O Hope of all Holy and humble persons, the Saviour of them that trust in You in time of trouble, does not allow us to remain as captives in spiritual chains. Redeem us so that we would awake to do Your will. Adonai, You know our desires, and our secret sighing is not hidden from You. Into Your hands I commend my spirit and my prayer. Grant to us as You see fit, and make us fit for what You grant us. Give us wisdom to abound or patience to suffer need. Help us to be content where our Master has placed us. Let all our work be done well before our hour of death. Then let us be gathered into Your arms, just as the harvesters gather the crop at the appointed season. (Acts 26).

Adonai, make me an instrument of Your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love, Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy. O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek To be consoled, as to console, to be understood, as to understand, to be loved, as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. (Romans 6).

O, dear Saviour, be not impatient with us, but still school us at Your feet, till at last we shall have learned some of the sublime lessons of self-sacrifice, of meekness, humility, fervour, boldness, and love, which Your life is fit to teach us. O Adonai, we beg you, moulds us into Your Own image. Let us live in You and live like You. (Romans 12).

O YHVH and ADONAI of the Powers; Elohim of all creation, in Your incomparable mercy, You sent Your only begotten Son and our Adonai Yeshua Moshiach for the salvation of humankind. Through His Holy cross You tore apart the record of our sins and thereby conquered the rulers and powers of darkness. Receive from us sinful people, O merciful Master, these prayers of gratitude and supplication, and deliver us from every destructive and gloomy transgression and from all visible and invisible enemies who seek to injure us. Discipline our flesh with a Holy fear, and let not our heart be prone to words or thoughts of evil. Pierce our soul with Your love. Let us contemplate You, be enlightened by You, and discern You, the unapproachable and everlasting light. May we offer unceasingly our gratitude to You: The eternal Father, with Your only begotten Son, and with Your all Holy, gracious, and life-giving Spirit, now and ever, and from age to age. (1 Corinthians 4).

O YHVH, my Elohim, gives me a heart to thank You. Lift up my heart above myself, to You and Your eternal throne. Let it not linger here among the hardships and turmoil of this lower world. Let it not be oppressed by any earth-born clouds of care or anxiety or fear or suspicion. Bind my heart wholly to You and to Your love. Give me eyes to see Your love in all things and Your grace in all that surrounds me. Help me to thank You for Your love and Your grace to all and in all. Give me wings of love that I may soar up to You, cling to You, adore You, and praise You more and more, until I am prepared to enter into the joys of Your everlasting love. (1 Corinthians 13).

Fill me, O Moshiach, with wonder, love, and praise, that I may praise You, YHVH SHAMMAH with us. O Adonai, be my light and my strength. O Adonai, in my weakness, perfects Your strength. O Adonai, make me Your messenger. O Adonai, arm me with the sword of Your Spirit. Adonai Yeshua, speak to me that I may speak for You. Adonai Yeshua, help me to speak the truth. Enable me to show how sweet it is to love You, to weep with You and to rejoice with You. (2 Corinthians 12).

You, O eternal Trinity, are a deep sea into which, the more I enter, the more I find, and the more I find, the more I seek. O abyss, O eternal YHVH Elohim, O sea profound, what more could You give me than Yourself? (Galatians 4).

Give to us, O YHVH, the girdle, the helmet, the breastplate, the shield, the sandals, the sword; and above all things, prayer. Grant to us the power and opportunity of well-doing, that before the day of our departure comes, our efforts may have produced good fruit. Allow us to behold Your presence in righteousness and be fulfilled with Your Glory, for Moshiach’s sake. (Ephesians 6).

Govern everything by Your wisdom, O Adonai, so that my soul may always be serving You in the way You will and not as I choose. Let me die to myself so that I may serve You; let me live to You who are life itself. (Philippians 1).
