I saw something in scriptures today that that made me understand why God loved David so much

Remember when Absalom, David's son was trying to take the kingdom? And plotted against his father and chased him out ? Someone came and told David that Ahithophel was with Absalom.
Well, Ahithophel was David's chief counselor It was said that if Ahithophel counsels you It was like God Himself spoke.
As David was running away completely broken by the fact that his own blood was betraying Him David looked up to heaven And said "Lord, please Mercy""Turn the counsel of Ahithophel to foolishness"

David was broken.
David was hurt.
David was running for life.
David just had the throne God gave him taken away.
David was stabbed in the back by a son he loved so much
But David was still able to send a prayer up

And in the most Divine way possible For the first time The counsel of Ahithophel was thrown away The man even hung himself because he could not bear the fact that his superior advice was discarded And it was that mercy that made Absalom lose that coup.

But here's what struck me Never forget to send a prayer up In your weakest moment Even as you cry Even as your broken Even as you're hurt Even when the pain is deep Never forget to send prayers up It would amaze you how God can turn things around Always send a prayer up
