In Psalm 50, we read, "If I were hungry, I would not tell thee..." From this I gather that I can forget about meeting any of God's needs. Rather, he is the one that must meet mine.
"Call upon me in the day of trouble. I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me." God is glorified when we call on him in trouble and receive his salvation. It is true that we should not just remember him when we get into trouble, but I think he understands that it is troubles that drive us to him, and therefore he allows it to come.
Then, in Psalm 55, "Cast thy burden upon the LORD and he shall sustain thee. He will never suffer the righteous to me moved."
It is not a bad thing to call on God when we get into trouble. It is just that, as brother Vaughn points out at his blog: http://www.devotional.vaughnfriesen.com/, we should remember him in the good times, too.
