Somewhere along the way, I picked up the notion that I needed to beg God over and over and over again. That I needed to plead my cause, that I needed to keep coming to him with my requests.    One day, God’s spirit whispered into me that I was praying out of fear and that I was wasting my efforts on begging God to do something He already promised to do.   He began showing me that I didn’t have to...
