But Moses implored the LORD his God and said, “O LORD, why does your wrath burn hot against your people, whom you have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?...Turn from your burning anger and relent from this disaster against your people...And the LORD relented from the disaster that he had spoken of bringing on his people. Exodus 32:11-14

What one prayer can/should you be passionately praying to show you believe that your words can impact God’s ways?
