Because just as soon as we ask God for them, we do not even give Him time to work... we go back to Egypt and ask the doctor or reach for the sorcery cabinet to take a miracle DRUG in case God needs help.
Or we go back to Egypt to visit the creditor for a loan that puts us in bondage to the lender or borrow from a friend who not only wants it returned but has an alterior motive that he has been meaning to get you to do for them and this will give them leaverage.
Rather we know it or not, we begin walking in our wilderness immediately after accepting Christ to test our loyalty and trust to God.
Jesus was baptised and immediately the Spirit led him into his wilderness to be tempted, for this is how our faith in God grows. The bigger your faith gets, the more God can bless us so that we can depend on Him and no one else.
We are to be solely dependant upon God's provision and protection and healing from the day we said I DO! A good husband provides for his family and we are God's family being brought into the kingdom of His dear Son.
If you have not seen any break throughs in your victories, then check your faith walk. Do you instantly try to fix things in your own fleshly power just as before you came into covenant with YOUR GOD?
Or do you ask, then wait patiently even up to the very last second that the bill is to be paid before you reach for your own hand or the hand of Egypt to help you? God will not share His glory with anything, not a physician, a pill, an medication, nor a creditor to put His child in bondage nor the ungodly and especially DOUBT. WE are supposed to be the lender's and NOT the borrowers for we are a child of the KING, not fornicator's with Satan's kingdom.
Notice the Hebrew children grumbled and complained because they could not believe God for their needs and many of them returned to Egypt and many died. We must not walk in UNBELIEF as they, we must be like Jesus who didn't bat and eye lash when Satan tried and tempted him with provisions for doing things his way, for he stood on the Word and spoke it aloud to what the devil was putting in his ear. And it only took Jesus 40 days to conquer his wilderness but it took those in unbelief 40 YEARS before only some of them reached their promiseland of milk and honey due to their not trusting in GOD AND GOD ALONE! We must enter into Gods rest, meaning that we do not worry for we trust in God for all of our needs, and worry is unbelief, and complaining is unthankfulness. Always be thankful for the dirty dishes or clothes we GET to wash,for others are so blessed to have some etc....
Next time you are ill or in need and the devil tells you, you are going to loose everything or you are never going to get better. Then have that sWord in your mouth ready to defeat him like Jesus did by SPEAKING those things that are not yet seen, as though God will bring them to pass because He gave us His Word!. Then step out in faith, then start walking in trust as if it IS DONE, as you keep STANDING on God's Word every time the devil try's to exalt his word over God's. Do all at the same time Speak it, step out in it, walk in it and stand firm, and seek NO other help. And just see for yourself how quickly God is able to give you the victory! For you will have overcome your fleshes temptation to the enemy.
If you have tried stepping out and believeing God, for say for some financial help to pay your rent or bills but as the time gets closer for the thing to be due, we begin to sweat and fear sets in and you end up breaking down letting the devil win and you step out in unbelief to turn to something or someone else to help you. YOU were duped!
Know that the devil is always going to TURN UP THE HEAT at the last moment giving you thoughts of doubt, and saying if God don't come through you are ruined, or they will shut off my lights or kick me out of my home. YOU just know that when the devil whispers that to you, then KNOW that he KNOWS that your victory is NEAR so he is pouring out his whole bag of tricks .. that is why they always say" it is darkest just before the dawn" Satan is trying to get you out of faith and to JUMP into his arms in unbelief and turning unfaithful to God!
Think of this, Would our God let us down if we truly trusted Him for help?
Hasn't He been TRYING SO HARD to get His people to take Him at His Word and Believe that He is real? Then why do we ever doubt if we need God for a good cause according to His will such as He is our provider, and protector etc..., that He would let us down and loose our trust? Does He want us to be enslaved to Egypt to pay our bills? Of course we use godly wisdom and do not make bills that you do not have the funds for in the first place. But if you have just come to God and you are in debted to the creditors.. do you think that if you came to God and asked Him to give you a way to get rid of your debt that He wouldn't do it, knowing that you may TURN back to Egypt's way of stealing, or cheating or lying to get your needs met? I am not talking about tempting Him, I am talking about trusting our Father to help us to live in a righteous way.
He WILL help you IF you walk by faith and not by sight!

Heb 3:1-4:1
3:1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
3 For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
4 For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.
5 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,
8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
