Learning to Intercede: Moses’ Prayer for His People
Explore Moses’ powerful intercession for Israel and grow in your prayer life through lessons on faith, persistence, and God’s mercy.
📖 Introduction
Prayer is a foundational element of the Christian life, serving as a direct line of communication between us and God. Throughout Scripture, we see various models of prayer—praise, confession, thanksgiving, and intercession. Among these, intercessory prayer stands out as a profound way to carry the burdens of others before God, reflecting love and selflessness.
One of the most compelling examples of intercession is Moses’ prayer for the Israelites in Exodus 32:9-14. After the people sinned by worshipping the golden calf, God's anger was kindled against them. Yet Moses stepped forward in an incredible act of advocacy, pleading for their forgiveness and compassion from God.
