That we actually really are wanting action on the part of God.
The important thing that we miss she points out well. We want God’s action to solve everyone’s problems and eliminate pain, a fairy godmother, or else we will not believe in him or trust him. But what God wants is to give us is himself, the most valuable thing there is. Her partial quote¹ of Lewis from Till We Have Faces nails it, “I know now why there’s not an answer, you are the answer, you alone are the answer. What other answer would suffice…”
It is also reminiscent of the twin parables,
The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.
We pray for blessingsYet love is way too much to give us lesser things
'Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops
We pray for wisdom
When friends betray uspain reminds this heart
What if my greatest disappointmentsthe revealing of a greater thirst this world can’t satisfy

¹The complete quote includes the italicized text (italics added):
“I know now, Lord, why you utter no answer. You are yourself the answer. Before your face questions die away. What other answer would suffice?”
