Sometimes the expectations in prayer is if I can only get to first base, if I can only get this special prayer answered and then I can get going on my own and find what I am looking for, can hinder the prayer efforts towards what may be or will be a much bigger outcome or bigger picture that the Lord wants us to deal with, filled in with many details later on.
The idea is if I get this piece of the pie, I'll go ahead and work out the big stuff myself, rather than meeting the Lord down the road as the Lord holds the big picture for the later portion of the answer.
As Jonah went ahead, the Lord gave him not only detailed instructions, but also the big picture related to the detailed instructions.
A correlated example might be someone today who hopes to win lotto, and figures from there they are all set to go. It might help and be a nice jump start, but no matter what road you travel, you still need the Lord to hold up the big picture for you, and to help and aid in the orchestration of the big picture.
It would be like looking at a classic painting and strictly focusing on just one part or detail of the painting, which you can do but you can also go into the view of the painting as a whole and this is necessary really to properly interpret and enjoy the painting as the masterpiece it actually is.

If you go through an art museum, you do want to look at the details in the great works of art, but while you do this you still want the whole picture in front of you as well and if this was not the case, you would be disappointed and looking for the big picture or whole picture. .
In prayer we do want to discuss details but we don't want to lack the whole picture if we can have the whole picture.
It is up to the Lord to reveal the whole picture, the big picture but this is something to ask for in prayer as while we want to be persistent, we also want to have the best possible view of how to pray and the best possible prayer vision for what we are praying about.
