It is not that the Tender Saviour waits in the sense that no help is forthcoming until you ask. The help is there in an unlimited way, but free will cannot be gainsaid. It is just as though you were offered the gift of water, precious indeed to the parched, or to the one who is stricken by disease; yet, as you know, it is very difficult to force that liquid through the lips when those same lips are closed and the teeth behind.
