28 Day Devotional, Day 12:

Prayer For Understanding God’s Plan And Character

Once Abraham knew God was planning to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, he negotiated with God for Sodom. Abraham knew what kind of God he was serving. God is a just God. Abraham also knew God’s promise never fails. He negotiated with God for righteous people in Sodom. He would also want his nephew, Lot, and his family who live in Sodom to be delivered from God’s wrath.

Even Abraham did not ask God to save Lot, but God planned to send His angels to save Lot before God sent angels to see Abraham because God remembered Abraham (Genesis 19:29). As we pray more, we will not only know more of God’s plan, but

also His nature, character and love, which is more than we asked for.

Prayer: Lord Father, thank you for your love and listening to our prayers. Holy Spirit, help us to hear from you and know your plan and your will. Help us to obey you and trust in you. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Genesis 19:1 KJV
And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;
