Exodus 30-32
God was ready to destroy the Israelites after they made and worshiped the golden calf. However, Moses intervened on their behalf, praying that God would relent, even offering himself as a substitute to appease God's anger. God changed His mind, deciding to withhold destruction because of Moses appeal.
This is such a needful lesson on the power of prayer. We often feel helpless, believing that our circumstances must be God's will, and that there is nothing we can do about. When, in reality, we can petition God to have a change of heart and plan. Ultimately, we have to accept whatever decision He makes, but, in the meantime, we don't have to passively accept His will without actively engaging Him with our own concerns and will.
