3: Bargaining - Seeking Control in Chaos 2 Samuel 12:16-23 We anchored our discussion in the poignant story of King David in 2 Samuel 12:16-23. After Nathan's prophecy about the death of David's child, David pleaded with God, fasting, praying, and lying on the ground all night in hopes of changing the divine decree. His actions reflect the intense emotional struggle and bargaining that often accompanies grief. However, despite David's efforts, the child passed away, teaching us that not all outcomes are within our control.Reflect on an area in your life where you may be bargaining with God. Ask Him to help you release control and trust in His perfect plan, even when the answer is not what you hope for.
