"Look upon my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins." Psalms 25:18 (NIV)
King David prays and pleas to God for deliverance and forgiveness. David is in trouble and suffering, he knows that he has done wrong, and he is asking God to forgive him and to help him.
We could learn a lot from David. When he did wrong and sinned, he confessed and asked God for forgiveness. When he was in trouble, he asked God for help. He also praised God in good times and in bad times. (Psalms 103:1-5) As we endeavor to be more Christ-like, maybe we should start by being more like David.
