From where does my help come from?

So I was doing a little devotions today and I found this...I really like this (as usual):

"1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains— 
   where does my help come from? 
2 My help comes from the LORD, 
   the Maker of heaven and earth.
 3 He will not let your foot slip—
   he who watches over you will not slumber; 
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
   will neither slumber nor sleep.
 5 The LORD watches over you—
   the LORD is your shade at your right hand; 
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
   nor the moon by night.
 7 The LORD will keep you from all harm—
   he will watch over your life; 
8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going
   both now and forevermore." 
                          -Psalm 121:1-8 

Think about this...this a really awesome mind-blowing concept. We all ask for help all the time (at least we should) because we are only human and limited on what we can do alone. How often do we REALLY ask for help from the biggest and greatest helper of all time? According to this verse, God is the Maker of heaven and earth...Did God need any help brainstorming, creating, and sustaining all life on earth? Not at all! Sometimes we don't ask God for help because of our silly pride or notion that God is too 'busy' with all the cries of help. Honestly, that's silly because...from His spoken words, the world was created. So to help you with something compared to that is like a speck of dust in his vast creation. OF coarse He would be glad to give you a hand! God will not only help you, but watches over you like a father protects his children.
