Matthew 7:7 - Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

The barriers are on our side.

Do not be anxious about anything but in everything by prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving make your requests be known to God and the peace of God which passes all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.

There is the question of God is omnipresent but there is also the question of God’s immanence and the fact that God wants a personal relationship with each one of us. Just look at the prayers of Jesus in the new Testament

God has promised in Malachi
“ Give me your first fruits and I will open heaven for you and pour down a blessing so much that your barns will be full!”
You can read my post on how God answers prayers and you’ll see that I was broke and I gave the little that I had to church and to a Christian radio station on faith after my husband left me with two small kids, and right before my rent was due a lady knocked on the door and gave me $22000 I could pay my rent!

Daniel was thrown into the lions den and God made the lion fall asleep.

Lots of scriptures tell us to pray for the needs of ourselves and others.

If somebody feels weird about inviting God into a situation, it's probably either the wording that they don't find logical, or awkwardness about visualizing God (which can be controversial). There is a school of thought in which pepole are told to visualize Jesus and ask Him a series of questions. It's called listening prayer, and there's some controversy over it.

Joseph was thrown into a hole in the ground and then accused of rape and was thrown in prison but he trusted in God and God eventually made him prime minister of Egypt!

If you repent and trust in what Jesus did for the entire world because he loves us [b]No harm will come to you[/b]

“[b]Ask me anything in my name, and I will do it for you[/b] John 14:14

Yes God is Omnipresent but that doesn't mean He is going to intervene in every situation you get yourself into. You need to ask Him to be there in order for that to happen.

In the book of Job, “Job” was sick for months but he prayed to God and God restored him to health!
