As-Salaam alaikum,
Says Allah, Azzah Wa Jallah, in a Hadith Qudsi:--
"I am as My Servant thinks I am,
I am with him whenever he remembers Me; if he thinks of Me,
I think of him; if he mentions Me in a gathering, I mention him
in a gathering even better than it.
If he draws near to Me a hand's span, I draw near to him in an arm's length;
If he draws near to Me an arm's length, I draw closer to him by 2 arms length;
and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running." [Bukhari and Muslim].
This Noble Hadith tells us of the speed at which Allah Ta'ala changes a person's reality as He remembers Him. Because Allah has no need of/to travel, He does not have a body and isn't creation, when He says "I GO TO HIM RUNNING", this refers to shaping man's perception of Allah, meaning 'I SHAPE HIS REALITY QUICKLY'. The more a person comes to Allah by Remembering Him (by various forms of Zikr), the faster Allah changes his perception towards good.
In this connection, the Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, said: IHSAN (human perfection) is to worship Allah as if you see Him, which is the highest form of worship. And in the Holy Qur'an, we have read it that:--
"HE IS WITH YOU, WHEREVER YOU ARE" (57:4)
"AND WE ARE NEARER TO HIM THAN HIS JAGULAR VEIN" (50:16)..
