Deuteronomy 9:16-20

And I looked, and behold, you had sinned against the LORD your God. You had made yourselves a golden calf. You had turned aside quickly from the way that the LORD had commanded you. So I took hold of the two tablets and threw them out of my two hands and broke them before your eyes. Then I lay prostrate before the LORD as before, forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all the sin that you had committed, in doing what was evil in the sight of the LORD to provoke him to anger. For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure that the LORD bore against you, so that he was ready to destroy you. But the LORD listened to me that time also. And the LORD was so angry with Aaron that he was ready to destroy him. And I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.

It would have been easy for Moses to refuse to intercede for the Israelites but he prostrated himself before the LORD for another 40 days fast. A total of 80 days without food and water. He prayed for the Israelites and Aaron. He was willing to risk all for his people and his brother. He went toe to toe with the LORD, God, the Almighty. He loved them even in their sin. And the LORD listened and relented in His anger.

Am I called likewise? Am I willing?
