7. Show us Your mercy, O Lord, And grant us Your salvation.

EZRA 9:8

3. and said, "Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

• Be totally Dissatisfied with Ourselves[ISAIAH 6: 5]

• Do a Thorough Job of Repenting[II Corinthians 7: 9, 10]

• Do a Thorough Job of Surrendering Ourselves to the Care and Dependence of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit[I Peter 5: 5-7]
