Why does God ask Abraham what he wants? We know that God knows everything so why would God ask something he already knows?
For me, I think it has to do in part with us. If we want something but don't say anything and get it then we feel fortunate or maybe just blessed but if it's something we ask for then we know we have been answered.
Also there is the fact that God cares about us to ask what we want. If someone asks do you like for your birthday or if your boss would say what would you like for your bonus and they got that it would mean something special. Even if somebody can't get you what you would like the fact that they would ask means for most of us that they care.
God knows what Abram desires and he is going to give it to him but it's not coming yet. Like I'm telling him he's going to answer the prayer he's giving him hope and he's letting him know that it's coming.
