but isnt it enough if he/she gives us the strenght to make the right decisions, like when I "talk" to god I say you know give me the strenght to prepal me past this point, I dont however ask him to bring me past this point, and we place ourselves in situation based on free will, and if you regard god presents over us a test, then you have to say him helping us would be cheating, when the rules of the test is to make the right decisons, based on free will

Man in the image of God is given dominion in the creation. Both man and God act in the creation. Also the locus of freedom is reason (you are free to use reason if you want to). The will is not free from reason but is bound by it. Free will is grounded in the reality of choice, but you choose what you desire and you desire what you to believe to be good. You are free to use reason to know the good.

If god puts you in a situation, the outcome is determined by your free will. That is one way that God test us to see if we are worthy of Heaven. He also uses us to help other or to direct others. I've found myself in situations where I have no choice but to help a stranger.
When you look at your life and find where God has put his hand into the mix, it's kind of cool to know that the Master of the universe cares enough about you to do that.

Precisely.
You put it very well.
It's just that people don't always know how to be responsible for their actions, and need to put the blame on something bigger than them.
And Gos is quite big.
