Thank God for God part 9

In my inner most beings, He hears me. (Psalm 130:1-8). When I am in trouble, He knows it and listens to me while I plead to Him. (Psalm 140:1-13). Even though He hears me and provides all things, I still ask Him. Is this always necessary? Not always. But sometimes it helps keep Him in my mind in the loop although in reality He is always in the loop. I don't know why there are times God wants to hear it from me and there are times He has no problem rushing to my aid. Someday I hope to figure it out, or at least some day I hope to ask Him,, except that I am reminded of the blessing that He gives me without me asking, such as my friendships and my cats. Neither one did I actively seek, but in the Church, God has seen to it that I have many friends and at home God has seen that two cats have come my way to give me enjoyment. Nevertheless, sometimes things don't come my way until I ask. Why? Is it because God wants to see just how important these things are to me? Or is it because by hearing myself ask for things stirs up just how important those things are to me? In any case, God distributes as He sees fit, and saves me from those who would want me hurt in His timing. I can say, "Help me!" as often as I want to. If it is according to God's purpose that I am in chains a little while there shall I be. He doesn't like to see me suffer and so has supplied me with hymns and sweet memories of friendships with brethren. And in the meantime I am dragged and drawn and quartered, either physically, emotionally or mentally or all three. And still I cry out (Psalm 143:1-2). And still He gives me peace, like He did Peter in Acts, when he was in chains and was able to sleep.
