"People with real faith don't need to ask twice; I keep asking because I don't really believe"
How it sounds in your head: If you truly had faith, you'd pray once and be done. The fact that you keep bringing it up proves you don't actually trust Him. Real believers have that supernatural peace—you're just anxious and faithless.

The Father doesn't roll His eyes when you come back again—He's the one who told you to ask, seek, knock continuously (present tense verbs in Greek). While you're worried your repeated requests prove doubt, He's delighting that you won't give up on Him.
