Questions unlock the heart.

It is notable that Satan begins the unravelling of the good creation with a question, "Did God actually say ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden?’" (Genesis 3v1). Perhaps more significantly, God uses two questions in the aftermath of the Fall to begin the inquest and judgement: "Where are you?" (Genesis 3v9), and, "Who told you that you were naked?" (Genesis 3v11).

God uses questions to draw out truth in the midst of crisis.
