DAILY PRAYER REQUESTS

 

And Abraham came near and said, “Would You also destroy the righteous with the wicked?  . . . Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right. “ Genesis 18: 23, 25.

Abraham knew that wicked Sodom, where his nephew Lot lived, would soon be destroyed. And, so Abraham boldly approached God and begged him to spare Sodom's few righteous residents. His humble plea began with a request for the deliverance of a portion of Sodom for the sake of 50 righteous people. However, the city was very wicked and so Abraham continued to negotiate, asking for 45, then 40, 35, 30 and so on until he begged for  for just 10 souls. With each request God agreed to protect the righteous even if their number was very few. Abraham cared enough about Lot and his family to persistently ask God for their protection. His noble  heart of intercession offers us a lovely reflection of the selfless love of our savior.  May we imitate his attitude as we pray for others.
