Despite numerous operations, he has never fully recovered but has remained active in running government affairs from behind the scenes. Now, just days before the national assembly is to meet to select a new head of state, Mr. Castro resigned permanently, and signaled his willingness to let a younger generation assume power. He said his failing health made it impossible to return as president.I will not aspire to neither will I accept I repeat I will not aspire to neither will I accept the position of President of the Council of State and Commander in chief, he wrote in the letter. He added: It would betray my conscience to occupy a responsibility that requires mobility and the total commitment that I am not in the physical condition to offer.
Lord I come before YOU at this very hour, because only YOU know the true reason why Mr. Castro is stepping down. Pray for all those whom are appointed his position over Cuba dear Lord. Grant this country peace, grant this country favor with finances, bring jobs to this country dear Lord, Father God, I ask that all wars to stop, all faminie that exist in this country to end. Bring an overwhelming wave of faith, and Christianity to this country in an abundance. I pray that the new leaders shall abide by YOUR rules dear Lord, that they shall bring peace to this little country. Allow them to lead by Thy's grace and mercy dear Lord. Allow them to follow the laws and guidelines of the bible to become a successful leader instead of the book of war. This I pray in Thy's holy and glorious name Father God, that Thy's will shall be and will be done greatly upon Cuba, Amen,Amen,Amen... Be bless family of God. |
