From the very beginning sinners have been running from a holy God.  When the Lord stepped into the garden to fellowship with Adam and Eve, they ran and hid themselves from his presence, but God sees what we do not want anyone else to see.  After being confronted over the most heinous sin of his entire life, David prves that he is a man after God’s own heart by running to the Lord instead of away from him.  From David’s prayer we learn the process of real confession.  We see David’s petition of the Lord, the purification of David’s sin, the restoration of David’s heart, and finally, the transformation of David’s life.
