Self-help assumes that if you work hard enough, you can fix yourself. While effort is important, human willpower has limits. And when it fails you, you will run to a human, and by then, you might have sabotaged your organic nature of existence.
The problem is that: You’re drawing from a finite source — your own energy, discipline, and emotions. When life gets tough, that reserve runs dry.
This Biblical quote backs it up as thus: “Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who draws strength from mere flesh and whose heart turns away from the Lord” — Jeremiah 17:5
So, if your strength comes from God, it will be replenished daily. And without Him, even your best efforts eventually collapse under pressure.
