Although David committed some unspeakably sins we do not remember him as an adulterer or a murderer. Unlike so many others who have succumbed to temptation David did not crash and burn. Rather than languishing in shame and regret he threw himself on the mercies of God. He prayed,
“Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin…”
–Psalm 51:1-4
Lord Jesus, hear our confession and forgive our sins. You are our only hope. We cannot undo the evil we have done. Deliver us from guilt lest we be overcome. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
