DOES GOD HELP THOSE THAT HELP THEMSELVES?

DOES THS SOUND LIKE A TRICK QUESTION?THE ANSWER DEPENDS ON WHO YOU ASK DOESN'T IT?


We are told to ask for everything and we need or want and we will receive.Some people don't know what to ask for so they just say they need help.Help can be just to listen or give advice or tell them that they need to help themselves.As a teacher, I do all three to get a clear understanding of where they are coming from.In all situation, they do need God's help to help themselves figure out the root of their problem.There are few people that just keep asking and don't expect any help and just want to tell their story of woes and not get help.And there are the wandering people who love to remain in the wonderment of the fantasy of the wanting and not knowing there is help out of their confused state. So you see many realities of the need or wanting for help but not sure until they decided to help or make changes within themselves.Self-help books are still sold by the millions each day and motivational coaching is still going on in sports and business.The main theme is to help yourself to overcome and move forward to obtain your goals.Where does God come into this big picture of self-help? In most cases the person seeking help from others has a foundation of beliefs in a higher power source.It always goes back to the cause and effect of the thoughts generated from the inner human consciousness.Creation of all things is to be connected to source God for a wholeness and completions of the task at hand.So to sum it up for a clear understanding and the wisdom to move on with a transition we do need to help ourselves first so we can give full attention to others that we may help.If we don't help ourselves it would be like the "blind leading the blind" or the "drowning person pulling someone else out of the water.Everything that we experience is what we give others as we ourselves overcome we can help those overcome.It is good to teach others about their free will and give them tools to learn that they can help themselves through God's help.There is nothing wrong in asking for help in the first place what is wrong may be the codependence that may occur in thinking you can't do it yourself.Everyone needs empowerment to know that the answers to their own journey's questions are within their connection to God or their higher self so they can help themselves.
