English term or phrase: urgent and full of concern

Jehoshaphat's reaction
Instead of going into a wild frenzy and seeking military aid from his neighbours, he, in the presence of his people, went to the house of the Lord, and prayed, closing his prayer with these words: O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee (2 Chronicles 20:5-12). Tell the class that all true believers can speak to the Lord in this way. Their prayers are real and ***urgent and full of concern***.

needs immediate action and full of anxiety

Explanation:
The person, instead of asking a military aid or forming one himself, went ot the church to pray and ask God to judge his enemies, for he has no intention to fight with them. And if they come attacking, he does not know what to do. But we are with you, and we would like to ask the Lord's help to not begin this fight and avoid the confrontation by Lord's power. Judge his enemies means to make them stop making an attack by Lord's power.
