And he believed the Lord , and he counted it to him as righteousness.

Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger,

John 15:7, ESV
Jesus is not saying that as a Christian you can ask for and get whatever you want or think you need.

Luke 11:13, ESV
We all like giving good gifts, especially to those whom we love.
What better gifts could we get from our heavenly Father than forgiveness of sins through His Son and a Comforter who connects us to Him?
As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.
