David seems to have been blessed with that kind of faith. He trusted God deeply, even though he did not receive everything he asked God for. This shows up powerfully in the death of his child in 2 Samuel 12. He prayed for a week, lying prostrate on the ground, fasting and weeping. He really bent God’s ear. But when the child died, David arose, cleaned himself up, went to the tabernacle to worship God, and then had a meal.
