Inspiration & Paradox 11: Persevere in Prayer or Yield to God’s Sovereignty?

When I was carrying my second child, I yearned so much for a painless and natural delivery that I became so intense in my request to God. On one hand, I wanted God to see my persistence and my faithfulness in asking for it as I know "without failth, it is impossible to please God", but on the other hand, I felt I should just ask once and for all and let go so that I could show my confidence in His perfect plan and that He could do as He pleases. I must say I struggled a lot in the perspective that I should be bold and persistent in asking God to act and yet humbly trusting in His sovereignty and that His will be done.
