I brg everyday for Gods help
Why are you begging for blessings that are already yours?
1 John 5:14-15New King James Version (NKJV)
Confidence and Compassion in Prayer
14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.
Instead of begging, we should be speaking His Word back to HIm. "God, your Word say......"
ASK
ask (sha'al "to inquire," "to seek for counsel," "to demand"):
It is the word commonly used in the Old Testament and is equivalent to eperotao, "to request," used in the New Testament. It does not imply any inferiority on the part of the person asking (
Psalms 2:8). It is the Son who is bidden to ask, and therefore the word expresses the request of an equal. It has also the meaning "to inquire": "Wherefore .... ask after my name?" (
Genesis 32:29) signifying, "Surely you must know who I am." "Ye shall ask me no question" (
John 16:23), i.e. "about the true meaning of My words, for all will then be clear to you" (Dummelow). aiteo, is the word commonly used with reference to prayer. It means "to ask," "to implore," and presents the petitioner as an inferior asking from a superior (
Matthew 6:8;
7:7,8;
Mark 10:35;
John 14:13, and in many other places).
It is not, however, asking in the sense of the word beg, but rather that of a child making request of its father. The petitioner asks both because of his need and of the assurance that he is welcome. He is assured before he asks that the petition will be granted, if he asks in accordance with God's will (1
John 3:22;
5:15). Moreover the Spirit leads us to such asking in that He reveals our need and the goodness of God to us. See
AMISS;
PRAYER.

How many times did we have to "beg" anything of our earthly father, or mother? If we did beg, did we get what we were begging for?
God wants us blessed even more than we want to be blessed, but there are spiritual laws in place which must be followed. These spiritual laws are all contained in God instruction book on how to live, the Bible.
IN the name of Jesus, I bless you with the life of God, His wisdom, His understanding. Thank you Jesus.
