"For what great nation is there that has a god so near to it as Jehovah our God is whenever we call upon Him?" (Deuteronomy 4:7)

"For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord is Lord of all and rich to all who call upon Him; / For "whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:12-13)

Sentiments as of recent, no matter what state we are in, God is living and responds to, even saves those who call on Him and seek Him.

"Calling on the name of the Lord is the secret not only to our salvation but also to our enjoyment of the Lord's riches. Beginning with Enosh, the third generation of mankind, and continuing all the way down to the New Testament believers, God's chosen and redeemed ones enjoyed Christ's redemption and salvation and all His riches by means of this secret." (Rom. 10:13, footnote 1)

"Hear, O Jehovah, when I call with my voice,
And be gracious to me and answer me.
When You say, Seek My face,
To You my heart says, Your face, O Jehovah, will I seek."
