What does the Bible say about begging God?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches us to plead with God, recognizing our dependence on Him for grace and mercy.

In Hebrews 12:25-26, the writer exhorts Christians to not refuse the voice of Christ, emphasizing the importance of begging God for His grace. The original word for 'refuse' points to the need to beseech God, recognizing our dependence on Him. This act of begging is not to obligate God but to acknowledge our helplessness before His holiness. Jacob's wrestling with God is an example of desperately holding onto Him, not as a demand but as a demonstration of deep need for divine intervention.
