Our desperate need is for God's Wisdom, but God will not allow us to mix His pure Wisdom with our destructive plans. Therefore, He wisely holds back on granting Wisdom, even when asked for, until we see the destructiveness of our decisions and actions, to the point of mourning. This is an essential part of the process known as Repentance, without which we Eternally die.
It is impossible to REPENT until we see that it was our actions that put Jesus on the Cross. Religious people crucified Jesus. Public servants made it legal. Heroic people accomplished the deed. Those that called Him Lord & friend either betrayed or abandoned Him. If I were there, I would have participated in this heinous deed of Crucifixion in some way. Jesus not only died for me, He died because of me.
