Read Luke 1-3
Luke 1:18 says, "And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years." Zacharias’ sign turned out to be that he was unable to speak until John was born. Usually when people asked for signs, they were either good or neutral things. Poor Zacharias probably regretted mentioning a sign.
It’s reasonable to want proof. We learn early on that not everyone who says something is speaking the truth. People lie to get what they want and sometimes don’t mean to be untruthful. Even people who claim they speak for God need to be investigated.
Usually God doesn’t get angry with us when we ask Him for clarification or proof. However, after He has given us the proof, we need to believe. At some point, we need to set doubt aside, no matter how incredible God’s promises to us are.
