I realized, at that moment, that I needed to be at the end of myself to depend on God and receive His everlasting comfort. When I was a first-time mom, I came to the end of myself numerous times within those first few months. Sleep deprivation and the daily tasks of motherhood made me weary. I committed to reading the Bible every day during that time. Throughout Scripture, I saw time and again that His Word is indeed alive and active in my circumstances.
Like a good book that I just can't put down, the Bible is an excellent book because it applies directly to my life.

And other times, I admit it, I have to repair things with my children. I have to talk to them about their behavior, as well as mine.

While the Temple in Jerusalem was standing , the Kohen Gadol was mandated by the Torah to perform a complex set of special services and sacrifices for Yom Kippur to attain Divine atonement, the word "kippur" meaning "atone" in Hebrew.
These services were considered to be the most important parts of Yom Kippur because through them the Kohen Gadol made atonement for all Jews and the world. During the service, the Kohen Gadol entered the Holy of Holies in the center of the Temple, the only time of the year that anyone went inside. Doing so required special purification and preparation, including five immersions in a mikveh , and four changes of clothing. The morning prayer service is preceded by litanies and petitions of forgiveness called selichot; on Yom Kippur, many selichot are woven into the liturgy of the mahzor . The morning prayers are followed by an added prayer as on all other holidays. This is followed by Mincha which includes a reading of the entire Book of Jonah, which has as its theme the story of God's willingness to forgive those who repent.
Erev Yom Kippur (lit. "eve day atonement") is the day preceding Yom Kippur, corresponding to the ninth day of the Hebrew month of Tishrei. This day is commemorated with additional morning prayers, asking others for forgiveness, giving charity, performing the kapparot ritual, an extended afternoon prayer service, and two festive meals. The Yom Kippur prayer service includes several unique aspects. The prayer services also include private and public confessions of sins and a unique prayer dedicated to the special Yom Kippur avodah of the Kohen Gadol in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.
Yom Kippur is "the tenth day of seventh month" and is also known as the "Sabbath of Sabbaths". Rosh Hashanah is the first day of that month according to the Hebrew calendar. Yom Kippur completes the annual period known in Judaism as the High Holy Days or Yamim Nora'im ("Days of Awe") that commences with Rosh Hashanah. The ten days from Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur correspond to the last ten days of the 40-day period Moses was on Mount Sinai receiving the second set of tablets.

Traditionally, Yom Kippur is considered the date on which Moses received the second set of Ten Commandments. It occurred following the completion of the second 40 days of instructions from God.

Prayer services begin with the Kol Nidre prayer, which is recited before sunset. Kol Nidre is a prayer that dates back to 9th century Israel. It is recited in a dramatic manner, before the open ark, using a melody that dates back to the 16th century. Then the service continues with the evening prayers (Ma'ariv or Arvit) and an extended Selichot service. Unlike regular days, which have three prayer services, Yom Kippur has five – Maariv, Shacharit, Mussaf, Minchah and Neilah.

Sprinkling of goat's blood in the Holy of Holies The Kohen Gadol took the bowl with the goat's blood and entered the Kadosh Hakadashim again. He sprinkled the goat's blood with his finger eight times the same way he had sprinkled the bull's blood. The blood was sprinkled before the Ark in the days of the First Temple, where it would have been in the days of the Second Temple.
The Kohen Gadol then left the Kadosh Hakadashim, putting the bowl on a stand in front of the Parochet . Sprinkling of bull's blood in the Holy of Holies The Kohen Gadol took the bowl with the bull's blood and entered the Most Holy Place again.

Reconstructionist services omit the entire service as inconsistent with modern sensibilities.

The writer of Psalm 42 expresses a deep longing to experience the peace of God's constant and powerful presence. He acknowledges his tears and his depression over the grief he's endured. His inner turmoil ebbs and flows with confident praises, as he reminds himself of God's faithfulness. Encouraging his "soul," the psalmist writes, "Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God" (v. 11). He's tugged back and forth between what he knows to be true about God and the undeniable reality of his overwhelming emotions.
