Prayer of Moses for Israel
“LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people. Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self.”

After Israel made the golden calf, Moses interceded passionately for them, reminding God of His covenant promises. This prayer shows the power of intercessory prayer and God's willingness to show mercy.
