It's an English expression. It's like saying "Oh, please!" It is used as an expression to strongly emphasize what you're asking for. For example, "For God's sake! Shut up." or "For God's sake! Stop." Though it's not nice using the name of God in vain expressions. So just use "Oh, please! instead.

The full interpretation is "God does everything right. What you are doing is against his own will, so please stop it."
