"To you, O LORD, I called; to the Lord I cried for mercy"

Something I've noticed about David: He always needs help from God. Always depends on God to save him every single time he gets into a mess. He does'nt say,  ' Thanks for saving me, I can take it from here.'  He had learned to be dependent on God when he was still caring for sheep and killing lions and bears with his hands. And I think we need to follow his lead and depend fully on God.
