Transcription: In the midst of his prayer, David looks for possible good that might come out of his tragedy and sees a glimmer of light. He prays for God to use this experience as a moral lesson for others. Perhaps by reading his story of sin, they might avoid the same pitfalls, or by reading his confession, they might gain hope and forgiveness. David's prayer was fully answered and is his greatest legacy as king. The best king of Israel fell the farthest, but neither he nor anyone can fall beyond the reach of God's love and forgiveness.
