God beyond "necessary"

Necessary? Can worship go beyond? It is "necessary" to the people who grit their teeth and pray, who perhaps believe because they were told to. God is "unnecessary" to the people who don't care. They are fairly obvious, I guess.

But what about a third way?

What about a God that is the friend you always always try to be with? A God not "necessary" in some objective sense that you can prove, but much better and deeper and truer than that. Nobody tries to prove what a friend is, if you're lucky enough to have one that is true you just relish the privilege of friendship, especially with... such a one.

Of course deeply needed but not in the way that Christendom says.
