God Will Help You Only If You Help Yourself

I don't know about you but I have heard this being said often.

The saying sounds logical enough. Why help you if you don't even want to help yourself. Even God can't help you.

I always suspected this saying did not have a religious root. I mean, can God be thinking and behaving like an average human being? Yes, an average person would probably not want to help you if you are not going to put in some effort towards helping yourself simultaneously. But there are a lot of great human beings who would go to great length to help you even if you refuse to help yourself. Could God be truly a lesser being than these great human personalities?

If He is God, I know He will help you over and over again, even if you fail again and again at helping yourself. If He doesn't, He is not God.
