It is written: Ask and ye shall receive.
What is proving true to me is, if you need and don't even know what it is you need, you shall receive. Or unknowing with faith answers our unspoken prayer. An example, from Fr Richard Rohr's "Daily Meditation" today:
Bonaventure ended his classic text The Soul’s Journey into God with this instruction, which represents the apophatic tradition of unknowing:
If you wish to know how these things come about,
ask [for] grace, not instruction,
desire not understanding,
the groaning of prayer not diligent reading,
the Spouse not the teacher,
God not man,
darkness not clarity,
not light but the fire
that totally inflames and carries us into God . . . .
Yes.
Thank you.
