16 David pleaded with God for the child. He fasted and spent the nights lying in sackcloth on the ground. 17 The elders of his household stood beside him to get him up from the ground, but he refused, and he would not eat any food with them.
Pleading is biblical Jeremiah cries out to the Lord, “Righteous are you, O Lord, when I complain to you; yet I would plead my case before you” (Jeremiah ). Joshua pleads the case of the Israelites and the disgrace their annihilation would bring upon the name of God (Joshua -9); and God responds with His grace.

God acts by providing “real life” opportunities for His wisdom to shine. God reveals Himself to Solomon through a dream, and He reveals Himself to the nation through the wise king. He reveals that justice comes from God. Only the Judge of all the earth does what is right.
Be respectful, of course, acknowledging his position and authority, but plead with him as a son pleads with a father. Make your case, be clear with what you think you and those children need, and trust that God's purposes are even better and even more loving than your own.
O loving and gracious God, have mercy. Have pity upon me and take away the awful stain of my sin. Oh, wash me, cleanse me from this guilt. Let me be pure again.
