Many have heard this classic story.

However, if you did not grow up with Bible stories, here is what happens:

David, a man after God's heart, sleeps with Bathsheba, a married woman, and she becomes pregnant. David panics and arranges for her husband, Uriah, to die so David can marry her.

As many know, this shows that anyone can sin and that adultery leads to suffering.

However, when looking at this story, several people overlook that David refuses to turn to God for help after making a mistake. Instead, he tries to solve the problem alone, which leads to more sin.

No matter how hard we try, we all sin. Yet, when we sin, God will still help us if we turn to him. When you make a mistake, ask God for help, and God will forgive you. He will care for you. Most importantly, God will show you how to make things right.

If you made a mistake today, ask God for help, and he will guide you back to his righteous path.
