Lord -
David’s actions displeased You, and You sent Nathan to speak to him.
Send us prophets to speak into our lives. As we listen to their stories and their words, may we notice our emotional responses and hear how You directly engage us through them.
You give and give to us. And yet we take what is not ours because we think Your providence is too little. As the consequences of our actions unfold before the sun, may we come before You and confess, “I have sinned against the Lord.”
In Your mercy, hear our prayer.
Amen.
