Deuteronomy 9:26-29 Power of Prayer

 26And I prayed to the LORD and said, “O Lord GOD, do not destroy Your people, Your inheritance, whom You redeemed through Your greatness and brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand. 27Remember Your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Overlook the stubbornness of this people and the wickedness of their sin. 28Otherwise, those in the land from which You brought us out will say, ‘Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land He had promised them, and because He hated them, He has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.’ 29But they are Your people, Your inheritance, whom You brought out by Your great power and outstretched arm.”

Power of Prayer 

“Moses asked for mercy upon Israel because of God’s past faithfulness to the patriarchs, because of concern for the glory of God’s own name and His reputation among the nations, because they were God’s people.” (Guzik)

"Prayer pulls the rope down below and the great bell rings above in the ears of God. Some scarcely stir the bell, for they pray so languidly; others give only an occasional jerk at the rope. But he who communicates with heaven is the man who grasps the rope boldly and pulls continuously with all his might." (C H Spurgeon)

Do you stir the bell, pray so languidly, give an occasional jerk at the rope or do you grasp the rope boldly and pull continuously with all your might?

I’m afraid I fall into the first three descriptions!
