Day 12: Psalm 51 – A personal prayer of confession

If you read the heading and also the context (2 Samuel 12:1-14) you can feel the shame and guilt that is about to be laid bare by David. What has happened?

David now knows where he stands with God (v3). You can see David wants God to save him. What does David say about God’s reaction to sin?

From v13-15, what is David's response to God for dealing with his transgressions? How does he show trust and reliance on God?

How should we respond when we realise our sin? Revisit 1 John 1:9.

Prayer points:

1. Thank God for one thing from the passage

2. Ask God for help with one thing you've been challenged by from your reading and reflection today

3. Dan & Rachel Djamaludin
