My father was a helicopter pilot. That meant that from a young age, I was familiar with what a helicopter cockpit looked like.

I remember distinctly being very young and having a nightly prayer sesh. I fully acknowledged (at that time) that God had A LOT of buttons and levers to man in order to keep the universe clicking.

He therefore could not be expected to respond personally to me.

Wrong.

Turns out He is Omni-everything and can respond to each individual supplicant while keeping breath in our lungs and making baby turtles adorable.

In fact, the opposite is true. It is not God who is too busy to respond to us, it is we who become too concerned with the buttons and levers of our busy lives to wrest the time from it all

To be still and know

That He is God

And we are loved

Beyond measure.

John 20 and 21
