Romans 9:22

How often do we boldly approach God in prayer, asking for mercy? Abraham’s conversation with God about Sodom is a powerful example of intercessory prayer. Knowing the city’s wickedness, Abraham still pleads for its salvation, trusting in God’s mercy. His boldness challenges our understanding of justice, revealing that God listens and is compassionate, even in judgment.

This story encourages us to pray with confidence, believing in God’s heart for mercy. Like Abraham, we can intercede for others, knowing that prayer has the power to move God. Today, remember that no situation is beyond God’s reach—He longs to respond to our prayers with patience and grace.
