Praying for God's purposes and resolving to offer grateful service helps shift our focus from self to God's will. David's prayers demonstrate a path to forgiveness and joy, showing us how to seek God's mercy and guidance. As we pray like David, we can expect to experience not only forgiveness but also the joy that comes with it. By seeking God's forgiveness and restoration, we can find peace and happiness in His presence.”
