Many people, without realizing it, have two gods:
A god is impersonal, like a transcendental force.
But then, in problematic situations, they call upon another god, a personal one, with whom they have a more intimate relationship.
Our faith is about knowing that these two are one. The same God who is beyond all things is the same one who hears your pleas and counts your tears. The same God who is the force behind all existence and transcends it is the same one who cares about what's cooking in your oven and how you treat your neighbor.
God cannot be defined, not even as transcendent. He is beyond all things and within them at the same time.
