Zadok Calendar

🙏 Prayer of Repentance & Return

For the Restoration of Yahuah's Appointed Times

"Return to Me, and I will return to you, says Yahuah of hosts." — Malachi 3:7

A Prayer of Teshuvah (Turning Back)

Acknowledgment of Sin:

Yahuah Elohim, Father of our Master Yeshua HaMashiach, I come before You with a broken and contrite heart. I acknowledge that I have sinned against You by neglecting Your holy appointed times—Your sacred Shabbats, Your mo'edim, Your Shmita years, and Your Jubilees.

I confess that I have walked in the ways of the nations, following their calendars and their appointed times rather than Yours. I have treated as common what You declared holy. I have ignored the rhythms You established from Creation, the cycles You ordained through Your servants Enoch and the sons of Zadok.

"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; because you have forgotten the Torah of your Elohim, I also will forget your children." — Hosea 4:6

Confession of Neglect:

• • Shabbat: I have profaned Your weekly Sabbath, the sign of Your covenant, treating the seventh day as common rather than set-apart. I have worked when You commanded rest, and ignored the memorial of Your creative work.
• • Mo'edim: I have forsaken Your appointed times—Pesach, Shavuot, Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot—replacing them with the festivals of men. I have missed the prophetic rehearsals You established to point to the work of Mashiach.
• • Shmita: I have not honored the sabbatical years for the land. I have not released debts or freed servants as You commanded. I have trusted in my own labor rather than in Your provision.
• • Jubilee: I have ignored the ultimate year of restoration, failing to proclaim liberty and return to inheritance as You decreed. I have allowed permanent bondage and loss where You ordained freedom and restoration.

"Therefore you shall keep My commandments, and perform them: I am Yahuah. You shall not profane My holy name, but I will be hallowed among the children of Yisrael. I am Yahuah who sanctifies you, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your Elohim: I am Yahuah." — Leviticus 22:31-33

Declaration of Repentance:

Father Yahuah, I repent of my rebellion and ignorance. I turn away from the traditions of men that make void Your Word. I renounce the solar-lunar calendars of the nations and the compromised systems that have displaced Your creation-order calendar.

By the blood of Yeshua HaMashiach, I ask for cleansing from these transgressions. Forgive me for the generations of neglect. Forgive me for treating lightly what You declared weighty. Forgive me for preferring convenience over obedience, and tradition over truth.

"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." — 1 John 1:9

Commitment to Restoration:

Yahuah, I commit myself to return to Your ways. I will honor Your Shabbat from sunset to sunset on the seventh day. I will observe Your mo'edim according to Your calendar—the 364-day pattern entrusted to the sons of Zadok, validated by the heavenly witnesses of sun, moon, and stars.

I will teach my household Your appointed times. I will prepare my heart for Shmita years, trusting in Your supernatural provision. I will proclaim and celebrate the Jubilee, acknowledging that You are the true Owner of all things and the Liberator of Your people.

I will study Your Word diligently to understand these times. I will gather with those who seek to walk in Your ways. I will be a witness to this generation, calling others to return to the ancient paths where the good way is.

"Thus says Yahuah: 'Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; then you will find rest for your souls.'" — Jeremiah 6:16

Through Yeshua HaMashiach:

I acknowledge that Yeshua, the Living Torah, perfectly kept all Your appointed times. He is our Pesach Lamb, our Firstfruits, our High Priest on Yom Kippur, and He will return to tabernacle with us. He came to fulfill, not to abolish. Through His sacrifice, I have access to Your throne of grace to obtain mercy and find help in time of need.

It is in His merit, not my own, that I can return. It is by His blood that I am cleansed. It is through His Ruach HaQodesh (Holy Spirit) that I receive strength to walk in obedience.

"Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the Torah till all is fulfilled." — Matthew 5:17-18

Closing Petition:

Yahuah Elohim, establish my steps in Your paths. Let Your mo'edim be a delight to my soul. Make me faithful in Shabbat rest. Grant me wisdom to prepare for Shmita and celebrate Jubilee. Use me as a light to others who are awakening to these truths.

Restore what the locusts have eaten. Rebuild the ancient ruins. Raise up the foundations of many generations. Let me be called a repairer of the breach, a restorer of paths to dwell in.

In the Name of Yeshua HaMashiach, the King of kings and Master of the Sabbath,

Amein v'Amein
(So be it, and so be it)
