This assumes that "God" is some sort of discrete entity which is somehow separated from "us". My sense of God is that God pretty much IS ever living thing. The life force that makes something alive, that's God. We, as individualised beings with a clear perception of separation are like "lenses" through which God can and does experience Creation. The reason God can constantly pay attention to every living thing is because God IS every living thing.

That's my experience, anyway. I suppose your mileage may vary. (And so might mine.)
