In my BSF meeting last night we went over Ezra chapters 9 and 10. The prayer of Ezra in chapter 10 I felt was rather relatable.
I decided to adapt it for the time we live in.
O, my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift my face to you, my God, for my iniquities have risen higher than my head, and my guilt has mounted up to the heavens. From days of old to this day man has been in great guilt. And for such trespasses as mine, men have been given into the hands of kings, to the slaughter, to captivity, to chaos, and unto utter shame.
But Your favor has been shown by the ransom paid by Jesus The Christ, to leave mankind a remnant and to give peace, a secure hold within Your holiness, that You may brighten eyes and grant reviving from slavery.
May I thirst for repentance, and find refuge in Your salvation.
