Living in a covenant of grace?

I've been dry for a while.
Basically, it's always the same. I get some high notions about myself and what I'm to do. Then I fail, thereafter I have to return into the darkness which surrounds us all in order to find repair or healing.

I've just read again what I said about un-claiming, and I wonder if one mightn't look at that as the "covenant of grace" in which we are told to live.
What does that mean?
If I unclaim the world there remain two ways to get my living. First I can get some of it by achievement and earning, even if there's no claim. Secondly I can get some of it by the grace of others and be thankful for that. So our common lives as Christians are grounded on a fabric of graces (gifts) and thanks.
