In Deut 9:18-25, not only did Moses fast and pray, he did so for 40 days. In these verses, Moses simply summarized his 40 day prayer. Think about what it means. For forty days, Moses basically prayed the same thing over and over and over again. I am sure he worded it in different ways. I am sure he took different approaches. I am sure he added argument upon argument. However for 40 days he basically said nothing more than "Please forgive these obstinate and stubborn people".
Some things are so important that they need to be repeated again and again. What would have happened if Moses had quit praying on day 39? If we want to be successful in prayer, we have to learn to be persistent!
