You Raise Me Up

David invited Bathsheba to the palace. One thing led to another, and she left pregnant. After she informed David that she was pregnant, David arranged to have her husband Uriah, one of his "mighty men," killed in battle. He ordered his general Joab to put Uriah in the heaviest part of the fighting and withdraw from him (2 Samuel 11).
After Uriah was killed in action, David took Bathsheba, Uriah's pregnant widow, to the palace to become his wife. To the people, it looked like such a noble act, the king taking care of a soldier's poor widow, but God saw it differently.

Amen Father. Forgive me for sinning, the lusts of my flesh. I stumbled at a weak moment and accomplished nothing but sin. My heart is broken as I’m closer to You now than in a longtime. …there is never a reason to sin. Against You alone do I sin. I repent. Mercy Father. I’m ashamed.
But God.. Your mercies are new every morning. Your steadfast love covers me. Your grace is sufficient for me. Wash me white as snow Jesus. Create in me a clean heart oh God, and renew in me a steadfast spirit. I need more of You Jesus, less of me. I’m pushing towards the goal You put before me. Take away any doubt I feel. Help me not go by my feelings but by Your living word. If You think I’m worthy to do the task? Here I am Lord. Forgive me my sins and heal me enough so I can serve You again. Jesus Jesus. I love You. I am nothing without You. Fill me with a double portion of Your Spirit. I want to be effective for You. In Jesus Christ precious Name.

Love this prayer. Your messages speak to me in a way I understand. I save some many of your prayers and print them. I have them all over and share in unexpected moments that I feel...this one is just right for that situation. You are gifted and I am so glad I "stumbled" across your site. Thank you

You Raise Me Up from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. King David woke from an afternoon nap and took a stroll around his balcony one evening. He happened to see a beautiful woman bathing at a nearby house. It was the house of Uriah and Bathsheba. The husband, Uriah, was away serving in the military. Now, David had many wives and concubines,... Read the full post here: You Raise Me Up
