What does the Bible say about urgent prayer?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible encourages importunate prayer, especially in moments of urgent distress.

In Psalm 70, the Psalmist demonstrates the importance of urgent prayer when faced with perilous situations, emphasizing that time is of the essence when trouble looms. He calls on God to 'make haste' to deliver him, recognizing that without divine intervention, all hope may be lost. The notion of seeking God's help instantly reflects a deep trust in His readiness to assist His people in their most desperate times of need. Importunity in prayer is not just permitted but is encouraged throughout Scripture, highlighting our dependence on God and His sovereignty in responding to our cries for help.
