Though we are slaves, our God has not forsaken us in our bondage

Ezra 9:1-15
After these things had been done, the leaders came to me and said, “The people of Israel, including the priests and the Levites, have not kept themselves separate from the neighboring peoples with their detestable practises, like those of the Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites,Jebusites, Ammonites, Moabites, Egyptians and Amorites. 
Then, at the evening sacrifice, I rose from my self-abasement, with my tunic and cloak torn, and fell on my knees with my hands spread out to the Lord my God and prayed
Though we are slaves, our God has not forsaken us in our bondage. He has shown us kindness in the sight of the kings of Persia: He has granted us new life to rebuild the house of our God and repair its ruins, and he has given us a wall of protection in Judah and Jerusalem.
Lord, the God of Israel, you are righteous! We are left this day as a remnant. Here we are before you in our guilt, though because of it not one of us can stand in your presence.”
Since their return, priests and Levits, rulers and people alike have intermarried with the heathen peoples around, a thing forbidden by God, not out of racial prejudice but because it led to idolatry. (God's concern - and the concern of those true to him - for non-Jews has already been seen in 6:21 and is a particular feature of the books of Ruth and Jonah.) This very practice had been a major factor in the nation's downfall under the kings. Yet even the horrors of defeat and exile have not taught the people their lesson, Ezra's bitter distress at the disclosure is therefor not surprising.
Why?
Ezra though his people sins as his own sins and prayed to the Lord for forgiveness.  Ezra is humble himself and asked for the Lord.
Though we are slaves, our God has not forsaken us in out bondage. God is full of love and grace to his people.
How?
Be humble before the Lord and pray for the nation and people in Taiwan.
