The king was overcome with emotion. He went up to the room over the gateway and burst into tears. And as he went, he cried, “O my son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom! If only I had died instead of you! O Absalom, my son, my son.”

Lord God my Father,
May I have the heart of David, may I have love for my enemy and morn for the lost. May I be your servant above my desires.

In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
