are his grace and mercy new each day?

Yes.
Imbedded in the relationship of Law and Gospel are the concepts of justice, mercy, and grace. One of the best ways you can show the difference between them is to use illustrations that show their differences and relationships. For example, Justice is getting what we deserve. Mercy is not getting what we deserve. Grace is getting what we don't deserve.
Let's suppose you have a bicycle and I want it. So, one night I sneak over to your house and steal it. You catch me and I go to jail. (Jail would be where I "pay" for my crime of breaking the law.) The penalty is met and that is justice. I get what I deserve.
Let's change it a little. I sneak over to your house and steal your bike. You catch me. But you don't send me to jail. Instead, you tell me to forget about it. The penalty, jail, is not met. That is mercy. I did not get what I deserved.
One more change. I sneak over to your house and steal your bike. You catch me. You don't send me to jail. In fact, you give me the bike plus a hundred dollars. That is grace. The penalty is met (by you paying the 'damages') and I was given what I did not deserve (the bike and money).
Justice, which demands payment, does not meet the requirement of mercy, which seeks forgiveness. Mercy does not meet the requirement of justice. Grace meets both.

You must think that God is some sort of super Accountant and a divine power combined.Why should HE do that and what for?Being rational creatures,we should take the responsibilities of our own actions and bear the consequences,good or bad.This way we shall at least try to live a life with minimum harm to others.Pray by all means but for the peace and well being of all living creatures on this earth.His grace,mercy and forgiveness shall follow automatically,if we deserve it.

When we are genuinely sorry, God forgives us. I think he has to do it on a daily basis, or he'd really have a lot of forgiving to do at the end of the month!

No, God is way to busy to forgive us daily. However, they're setting up a computer system to automate the process.

Better than what you wrote God in Christ has forgiven us of our sins forever ( Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 10:12).

Sometime more then a few times each day.

Praise GOD he hasn't given up on me yet.

He forgives us once for all. His compassions for us are new everyday.
