God is Waiting to Be Merciful to Us

Truly, the Lord is waiting to be gracious to you,
truly, he shall rise to show you mercy;
Isaiah 30:18

The way God set things up is that He wants us to ask Him for things. Even though He is all-powerful and can do anything, He waits for us to ask Him. He wants us to be co-laborers with Him in bringing about His Kingdom on earth.
