Praying God's Promises
Commentators like John Calvin emphasize that Moses' prayer is a powerful model for believers. He doesn't invent his plea but bases it on God's own prior revelation of His character (Exodus 34:6–7). This teaches that the most effective prayers are grounded in God's own promises, as if He Himself dictated what we should ask. When we pray Scripture back to God, we can be confident that He will be true to His word.
