A Weakness

by Rav Avraham Yitzchak Kook

The essence of my imperfection is a weakness of will, as well as a weakness of the body.

And at times, when I want to involve myself in repentance and in the awe of God, my will is further weakened, and I must afterwards rectify a great deal more.

Therefore, I must integrate into my repentance an inner might filled with lovingkindness, so as to strengthen and gird my will, and to make an effort together with the strength of the physical power.

And may Hashem’s help come to me so that everything will be in the proper order.

Chadarav, pp. 151-152
