Is it ok to say that God is walking next to me in some way or another, because sometimes i feel so connected to God that i feel that it is he who walks next to me...Can i say that it is he who is always present next to me in the times of pain and sorrow?, and in the time of laughter and happiness?
17 Years Old, And already feeling like i can take on the world. Anyways i will keep walking in The Bridge To Eternal Life

feeling like you can already take on the world is just a symptom of being 17, the god walking next to you thing though is true, he walks next to you above you below you lives inside of you, god is everywhere

Absolutely fine to say he's walking next to you! b/c he is!
God is everyone's partner in the good times and the bad. And many times, he's the one carrying us through it all.
Hold onto to your feelings of being able to take on the world! Own it and hold onto forever! God want's us to have a life where we can walk in faith, without earthly fear. We can do all things in Christ!

I believe the Onion has the best anwer to this, in its Oct. 1998 Point/Counterpoint article.
Point
It Was Then That I Carried You
By Jesus Christ
One night, Jim, you had a dream. You dreamed you were walking along the beach with Me. Across the sky flashed scenes from your life. For each scene, you noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one belonging to you, and the other to Me. When the last scene of your life flashed before you, you looked back at the footprints in the sand. You noticed that many times along the path of your life there was only one set of footprints. You also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in your life. This bothered you, and you questioned Me about it. "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you would walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me." I replied, "My precious, precious child. I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

Bullshit, Jesus, Those Are Obviously My Footprints
By Jim Steinhauer
Sorry to have to break it to you, Jesus, but those are obviously my footprints.
Look closely. See how those footprints have that wavy tread pattern on the bottom, just like my docksiders? If they were yours, they'd make a sandal mark, like the footprints next to mine a little farther up the beach when I was going through better times.
See the footprints at the time of my divorce? You'll notice that the sandaled footprints drift off from the docksider ones. They lead to that picnic bench over there, the one with the cigarette butts scattered all over. It appears that in my darkest hour, instead of carrying me, you sat on a stump and had a couple of smokes. Real helpful, Jesus. Real helpful.
Sure, the sandal footprints came back when I got that big job promotion, but right at the point where my son Tommy died, they veer off again. Actually, now that I look again, it seems like there's an unusually large distance between each of the sandal-wearer's footprints around the time of my son's death, as if the person were actually running away.
I'm sorry, Jesus, but your whole story about carrying me during my worst moments just doesn't gibe with the facts. Besides, you'd certainly think a person would remember being carried by the Son of God, right? That's a pretty memorable thing, wouldn't you say? Well, either I've got amnesia, or you're a liar, because I don't recall ever being toted around by the Messiah. The only thing I do remember about my worst moments on the path of life is the horrible feeling of plodding along the cold sand all alone while icy rain fell in sheets and chill winds assailed me.
So thanks, Jesus. Thanks a bunch. You were really there for me when things got tough. Asshole.

Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit, to guide and comfort us. I have no doubt, if you truly trust in Jesus, you will experience this.
Keep up the good work and be sure to share your faith with others, not just in word, but how you live and treat others.

I order a vodka tonic, with lime. I turn to "Jesus God" (for those of you who don't comprehend commas), and ask him/them what he's/they are having. He/they answer "no longer something for me, i'm using". We stay awhile, and then go out for ribs. Jesus God drives.

Did you ever read the poem "Footprints in the Sand".
It's true.
