“Please allow my father and mother to live here with you until I know what God is going to do for me.”

But then David’s conscience began bothering him because he had cut Saul’s robe. 6He said to his men, “The Lord forbid that I should do this to my lord the king.

 ‘I will never harm the king—he is the Lord’s anointed one.’ 

May the Lord therefore judge which of us is right and punish the guilty one. He is my advocate, and he will rescue me from your power!”

Lord God my Father,

Help me to protect my family as you direct me in my path. Keep me so close that your desire shapes my thoughts and actions. May I only do your will without struggling to understand why.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
