I’ve lead a despicable life full of lust, disobedience, pride, resentment, revengefulness, hatred, self-righteous, apathy, laziness, lies, manipulation. etc etc etc
An im deeply ashamed of that, like it saids in The Holy Bible “For the legacy of the fool is shame”. Im full with regret but im happy now for the first time in a long time truly happy , thanks to the Holy Spirit “for the fruit of the spirit is joy”.
Like it saids in The Holy Bible terror comes for me at night and my sleep isn’t sweet. (Thanks too the Holy Prince thought it’s gotten much much much better)
As I was reading the new testament I saw where The Noble Knight and Valiant Prince Lord Jesus Christ; rebukes two peoples from two different cities for not repenting and he said something on the grounds of if Tyre and another city were told what was told to you they would surely be all dressed in sackcloth an with ashes on there head; mourning.
So I want some sack cloth (and would like too know out of what wood if it is a wood, that they got there ashes from)
Because truly my sins are huge!
Hopefully The Prince of Peace's mercy and grace, mixed with my mourning and sackcloth mixed with ashes can save me from hell!

Well, let me be the first to tell you that sackcloth is not the thing that will protect you, or help you repent. Are you saying that Jesus shedding His blood and dying for your sins was not enough to forgive you or cleanse you of your sins??
God's Word says that "God has not given you a spirit of fear, but one of love, power, and a sound mind..." He has given you authority over all things on the earth. Next time Satan tries to come and lie to you at night, all you have to do is rebuke the enemy like God has instructed... thats it.

Better plan. Find a good spiritual director and spend a lot of time in prayer. If you want to 'repent in sackcloth and ashes' so to speak, the way a Christian does that is through asceticism. Find a good Orthodox monastery, and maybe spend some time there developing a rule of prayer and fasting to discipline yourself. Maybe even stay there, if you feel it right for you. 'Work out your own Salvation with fear and trembling' so to speak.

I was told by two people of the Jewish faith for myself, to use burlap, which is available at most fabric stores.
