4a 1 Kings 3:5-14
5.At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon during
the night in a dream, and God said, “Ask for
whatever you want me to give you.”
6 Solomon answered, “You have shown great
kindness to your servant, my father David, because
he was faithful to you and righteous and upright in
heart. You have continued this great kindness to him
and have given him a son to sit on his throne this
very day.
7 “Now, Lord my God, you have made your servant
king in place of my father David. But I am only a
little child and do not know how to carry out my
duties. 8 Your wapbase.org servant is here among the people you
have chosen, a great people, too numerous to count
or number. 9 So give your servant a discerning heart
to govern your people and to distinguish between
right and wrong. For who is able to govern this great
people of yours?”
10 The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for
this. 11 So God said to him, “Since you have asked
for this and not for long life or wealth for yourself,
nor have asked for the death of your enemies but for
discernment in administering justice, 12 I will do
what you have asked. I will give you a wise and
discerning heart, so that there will never have been
anyone like you, nor will there ever be. 13 Moreover,
I will give you what you have not asked for—both
wealth and honor—so that in your lifetime you will
have no equal among kings. 14 And if you walk in
obedience to me and keep my decrees and
commands as David your father did, I will give you a
long life.”

8a..
Acceptance
Let us pray in acceptance that God knows better than we do what our needs are (Matthew 6:8, Romans 8:26, 2Corinthians 12:7-10).
2 Faith
The blessing of prayer has been clearly revealed to us in the scriptures. Let us trust what they say, and pray without doubting (James 1:5-7).
3 Persistance
In Matthew 7:7-8 the Greek carries the idea of "keep on asking, keep on seeking, keep on knocking". Jesus said we should always pray and not give up (Luke 18:1-8, 1Thessalonians 5:17, Acts 16:23-25).
4 Right Motives
"You ask and do not receive because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures" (James 4:1-3). They were not wrong to ask, wapbase.org but their asking was wrongly motivated. Example of wrong motives, James and John (Mark 10:35-37). Example of right motives, young Solomon (1Kings 3:3-15).
5 Harmony with God's Will
If we pray anything according to God's will he hears us and grants that prayer (1John 5:14).
When the Bible clearly reveals God's will, we have confidence in the answer. For example when we genuinely repent of sin and ask forgiveness, we know our sin is forgiven (1John 1:8-9, Acts 8:18-24, Isaiah 1:15-20, Psalms 51:1-17).
When God's will in the matter is unrevealed, then we pray in the attitude, "If it be possible... nevertheless not my will but Your will be done" (Matthew 26:39).
6 Desire to Obey
Only "the prayer of a righteous man is powerful" (James 5:16). We receive from God what we ask only when we show ourselves willing and eager to keep God's commandments and do the things that please God (1John 3:22).
7 Thanksgiving
We are to make all our requests to God with thanksgiving (Philippians 4:6). God loves the grateful soul. He is not much interested in whingers (Daniel 2:23, Hebrews 13:15, Colossians 4:2, Ephesians 5:20).

ii. Turning Away From Scripture
iii. Unconfessed Sin
======================
(2a)
Nathan had finished rebuking David for sleeping with Bathsheba, Uriah’s wife. God was displeased with David’s conduct. Nathan prophesied that the child born to David through his sin with Bathsheba would surely die. As soon as Nathan left David’s house, the child was struck with sickness.
David fasted and prayed to God that the child might be saved. He lay on the floor all night. The older servants of the house tried to cheer him up but he refused to wake up. He did not eat either. He was inconsolable.
After seven days, the child died. The servants did not know how to tell David because they perceived that if they told him, he might hurt himself seeing that even while the child was alive nobody could console him.
David noticed that his servants were whispering among themselves so he perceived that the child was dead. He asked whether the child was dead and they replied in the affirmative. David stood up from the floor. He took his bath and perfumed himself. He put on a new dress. He now went into the house of the Lord and worshiped.
His servants could not understand David. They told him that while the child was sick he fasted and prayed but now that the child was dead, he had risen up and eaten food. David replied that while the child was alive, he thought he could pray to the Lord so that the Lord might save his life but now that the child is dead, there is no need to fast and pray again. Now that the child is dead, he could not bring him back to life. According to David, he could go to the baby one day but the baby could come to where he was.
David consoled Bathsheba for the lost of the child.
