Praying God's Promises Back to Him
Commentators agree that Moses' most powerful plea was reminding God of His unbreakable covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Israel. Scholars like John Calvin clarify this isn't about invoking the patriarchs as intercessors, but about appealing to God's own sworn word. As Matthew Henry notes, God's promises are our best pleas in prayer, a model for grounding our own requests in Scripture.
