Most common instances people only remember to use God in their life:
1. Attend Sunday Mass or service for 1 hour or less
2. For Baptism or Dedication ceremonial rites for their child
3. Prayer before any party meals
4. For their wedding ceremonial rites
5. For the success of their school exams or licensure
6. For the success of their job and/or immigration application
7. For material needs/wants
8. Of course, if they get sick, in any trouble, dying or any near death-related experiences

“Teacher,” he declared, “all these I have kept since I was a boy.” Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” At this the man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth." (Mark 10: 20-22)

Who needs God when everything's good?
