Does God help in times of need?
The bible seems to be a bit confused:
NO, HE DOESN'T____________________________________________________________________
1 Samuel 8:18
And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.
Psalm 10:1
Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? [why] hidest thou [thyself] in times of trouble?
Psalm 22:1-2
My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? [why art thou so] far from helping me, [and from] the words of my roaring?
O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
Isaiah 1:15
And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
Isaiah 45:15
Verily thou [art] a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.
Ezekiel 20:3
Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye come to enquire of me? [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you.
Habakkuk 1:2
O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! [even] cry out unto thee [of] violence, and thou wilt not save!
Hosea 5:6
They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find [him]; he hath withdrawn himself from them.
YES, HE DOES:_____________________________________________________________________
Psalm 22:24
For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
Psalm 46:1
God [is] our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Psalm 145:18
The LORD [is] nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
Nahum 1:7
The LORD [is] good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.
Thoughts? Is the word of God still infallible?

In my opinion he is trader and a backstabber! He says when you are weary I shall carry you. When you can hold on no long he says he's there. But he's not. I have trusted him to many times and he has let me down. People say God heals and helps all, he doesn't.... Look at this world, disease poverty, starvation! We good people try our best and hardest to help those in need, but does he help? Does he even give a damn anymore! He' has taken nearly everything I hold dear to me! I trusted him, he was the only one I thought I could.... But, I was wrong... Despite how much he continues to push me down, I still am able to get up. But its not because of him, I have my strength my pride. He' hasn't helped me, my mother said he did. I'm not sure if that is true or not. From what I know and how I feel and think. He will continue to take everything I love from me until the finial day of my death. He is a trader and a backstabber, trust him and you will be hurt like I have. I don't want that to happen to anyone. Oh just fyi, That Song by Nicklback "how you remind me is the best song to describe him." I do recommend it, I think its a good song

The abrahamic/biblical concept of god is NOT correct. Instead, this is the truth:
“Q: Wouldn't it be better for everyone to have a conscious memory of how the system of successive reincarnations works, so that spirits are able to evolve?
A: Spiritual evolution is only authentic when it has really been chosen through the spirit´s own decision. If spirits were conscious the whole time of the presence of superior beings monitoring their progress, they wouldn´t act freely, but would be conditioned by the presence of their guides. The same happens with children, who behave in a certain way in the presence of their parents or teachers, out of fear or respect for them. However, when adults are not there, they behave differently, more like they really are because they feel freer, as the adults are not there to reprimand them when they do something naughty.
During the time that the spirit is disincarnate in the spiritual world, the presence of the superior spirit tutors is more manifest. Incarnation in the physical world under the conditions with which you are faced, without memories or obvious manifestations of superior supervision, aims to ensure that you act in total freedom, without any kind of coercion, so that through your own experiences, you may decide for yourself what you want.
You are not abandoned. Your spirit guides are always there helping you. They suggest the answers to you in a subtle way, when you have questions that you sincerely don’t know how to resolve. The trouble is that most of you have many fears and taboos inside you that it becomes very complicated for your guides to help you, because you don´t accept answers that don’t fit in with your prejudices and archetypes. If you ask for answers sincerely, from your heart and with the intention of achieving spiritual improvement, have no doubt that you will receive an answer. THIS IS THE AUTHENTIC WAY OF PRAYING, as opposed to repeating lots of phrases over and over again praising god, which mean nothing to you or to the spiritual world.”

None of the thousands of man-made gods have time for helping. They're too busy not existing.

He helps you when you are in need AND when you aren't.
The Bible is full of symbols and, as humans, we don't understand all of them.
