Nevertheless, because you have shown utter contempt for the word of the Lord

David replied, “I fasted and wept while the child was alive, for I said, ‘Perhaps the Lord will be gracious to me and let the child live.’ 23But why should I fast when he is dead? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him one day, but he cannot return to me.”

Lord God my Father,

Keep me in your grace and protect me from my own decisions. I have proven to myself my thoughts on my own lead to trouble. I wish to live in your power and desire. May all I do this day bring you honor.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
