well true, but the purpose of that statement when it was posed to me years ago, was that God gave us FREE WILL to ask for His help or not. i have found that since I ask for His help - I receive it. I can ask right away or I can wait for things to get worse - i don't believe that God causes problems - we cause our own problems but redemption is available at anytime - and I can ask for help out of the situation from the Supernatural Power at any time. Now I choose to ask right away. No sense in wasting everybody's time when I could have the aid of the Spirit of the Universe - but God is so respectful of my free will choice that He waits for my request for His help - that's what that statement means to me.
