Step back when you begin to beg God to move from a posture of panic,  Check your body posture. Are your hands clenched? Is your face scrunched up? Take a deep breath, exhale, then ask yourself the following questions. Do you believe God is a good God and your Heavenly Father? Are you praying out of fear that he isn’t listening or won’t answer you unless you prove to him how desperate you are?

If so, calm your heart, remind yourself of the truth, and pray from a place of trust that God’s care is unwavering. Rest assured, you are always heard, knowing that God cares more about your situation than you do. Pray with the sure knowledge that you are a child of God and that He knows your voice and hears your faintest whisper.
