Ezra was a great leader because he identified with the people even though he was not guilty of intermarrying with unbelievers. It's easy to point our fingers at others and judge them but a sign of humility is coming alongside of those who are caught in sin and bring them to the throne of grace.

When I think of my sins and compare them to my merciful Father who is my forgiving God, I find myself praying this same prayer....wow, what a prayer! I want to ask myself, "what was I thinking when I walked away from God and lived my life away from Him. So with that in mind, "I am ashamed to lift up my face to You cause my sins are higher than my head and my guilt has reached to the heavens." I know we have consequences from our sins and I feel that God should be so angry with me. But my God is an amazing God as He is gracious, has not forsaken me, He shows kindness, and He gives me protection. Yes, God You have punished me less than what my sins deserve. Thank you God for comforting me and giving me relief of my guilt and giving me light to my eyes that I may see Your truths. I am so touched by Your love for me.....Thank you God.

Luke 18:9-14 – “To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable: “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’ “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’ “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
