Hear us, Lord; For your mercy is great. We thank you, Lord, for all the blessings of this life.

We depend on God's understanding of our limitations and intention. We depend on God's mercy.

We do not often meet our own expectations. We tremble to consider God's expectations. We depend on God's empathy, sympathy, and compassion.

Recognizing we have received so much more than we have earned, we are especially inclined to give thanks.
