The next question is, "When God already knows what we want, what is good for us, and what we need, why should we ask Him for it?" For this I would quote Christ's words: "Knock, and it shall be opened unto you; ask, and ye shall receive." In other words, God knows your need and He knows what you want, but your want becomes clear when it is expressed not by the mind or the body only but by your whole being. That is the secret.
