What Does 2 Samuel 7:25 Mean?
David now begins to ask, and his prayer is simply that God would do what He has already said. He asks the LORD to establish for ever the word spoken concerning his house and to do as He has promised. He prays not for new favors but for the fulfillment of God's own pledge.
This is prayer at its purest: taking hold of God's word and asking Him to keep it. David does not invent his requests; he prays God's promises back to Him. To pray this way is to align our hearts with God's will and to rest our hope on what He has spoken, confident that He will surely perform it.
