How do we know God's sovereignty affects prayer?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty does not negate the necessity of prayer; it encourages it.

Moses' prayer for the Israelites, despite knowing God's sovereign election, illustrates that understanding divine sovereignty should not lead to fatalism. Instead, it compels believers to seek God's mercy on behalf of others. Moses pleaded with God, saying, 'If thou wilt forgive their sin, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book,' demonstrating his deep compassion. This aligns with the message in Jonah, where prayer led to God's mercy on Nineveh, confirming that while God has decreed outcomes, He also delights in answering the fervent prayers of His people.
