God cares deeply and consistently for his children. He detests seeing them harmed by others who are more powerful and stronger than they are. Because of this, He is ever-present and even closer than we think. His ears are not only open to our sufferings, but also to our cries for assistance. God wants us to call only to Him because He wants to hear our cries for aid, yet many people have been severely afflicted because of ignorance, especially those who do not call on Him in faith. This Almighty God frequently uses our requests for assistance to pull us closer to Him and to open our eyes to the amazing things He has in store for us. One of the main advantages of redemption is access to God, and when this quality is completely exploited, it gives you access to the human heart, which is what most people long for via fasting and prayer.
