58 You will bear the consequences of your lewdness and your detestable practices, declares the LORD.
59 " 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will deal with you as you deserve, because you have despised my oath by breaking the covenant. 60 Yet I will remember the covenant I made with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you. 61 Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you receive your sisters, both those who are older than you and those who are younger. I will give them to you as daughters, but not on the basis of my covenant with you. 62 So I will establish my covenant with you, and you will know that I am the LORD. 63 Then, when I make atonement for you for all you have done, you will remember and be ashamed and never again open your mouth because of your humiliation, declares the Sovereign LORD.' "
-Ezekiel 16:58-63
Father, we come before You today confessing of unfaithfulness to You. We have forsaken You as a campus and as a generation. We have mistreated and abused You. Lord, we recognize Your deep lovingkindness, Your incredible faithfulness, Your delight in mercy, and Your awesome sovereignty. Remind UCSD of Your promise to make atonement for our sins even after our adultery, how You will keep Your promise to save all who call upon Your name.
Lord, release the fear of the Lord upon us once again, that we might come to You knowing the weight of who You are and know Your sovereignty and strength and reality. Father, we understand the gravity that the wages of our sins is death, so we come before You today pleading with You to bring renewal of Your promise to the people of UCSD that we might turn our eyes and ears and hearts back to You.
