did any of the prophets ever pray for God to remove his hand (favor) from a nation in hopes that they would repent?

Aaron, if a city needed to repent it wouldn't have God's favor. God would send the prophets to preach to the unfavored cities and warn them to repent or receive judgment. God wouldn't favor a rebellious city. They must repent in order to receive his favor.

It was usually the other way around, God told the prophets He was going to punish the nation for their disobedience

The old testomony? or under The old regulation? 2 fairly some issues. the old regulation did no longer substitute until Acts ch. 2 Thats while it grew to become the Christian age. Jesus Himself, lived under the Mosaic regulation.

YES! Abraham tried to save Sodom, and Moses talked God out of judging the nation of Israel, and punished them himself.

Jeremiah, Obadiah, and Malachi that I can think of.
Jonah actually wanted God to judge Nineveh... that's why he ran away--he didn't want the people to change their ways.
EDIT:
Scratch Obadiah... I meant Habakkuk.
