"Lord, who has provided this new day and is so full of grace and compassion -- I give you praise for leading us to repentance, that we may gain salvation, instead of punishing us according to our deeds.

I give sincere thanks, praise, and glory to you, who s trive to show grace and copsasion to all of mainkind through any and all means. Through Ezekiel's actions that symbolized the number of years that Israel and Judah sinned, You made the iminent judgement known, so that Israel and Judah may be saved from the imminent calamity (Ezekiel 4:1-17).

Although we may seem as though we're not lacking from the outside, would you have compassion on us, because we are spiritually anxious and hungry. Would you help us to walk with you more intimately so that our spirit and lives may become a witness that loudly speaks your truth and grace. I pray in the name of Jesus, who through the grace that does not see our sin, causes us to enjoy and share in spiritual abundance. Amen."
