God is.

on behalf of 11-1-2014

18The Lord is near to all who call on him,

to all who call on him in truth.

19He fulfills the desires of those who fear him;

he hears their cry and saves them.

God is near those that ask him to help them live like him and he is there for those who fear him in the sense of fear as respect and awe for his power and understanding regarding his greatness. for those in need of his help, who cry out to him, he goes to their aid and rescues them. he doesn't necessarily prevent them from being touched as a shield, but he does play a role to a degree of blocking that obstacle or at the very least assisting in the overcoming of that obstacle.

so what does that mean for me? i ought to call him at all times of day. before and after sleep. when im in a relaxed time.  when im stressed out.  God is there for all times and for that i am so eternally grateful.  i will work in his time and at a reasonable rate.
