Answer 2

Dear Gilly,

The phrase "God helps those who help themselves," is not found in the Bible. In fact the Bible teaches that God helps those who are humble, and recognize that they need God's help in their lives. It does not mean that we are to do nothing (because the Bible in proverbs has much to say about our work ethic) and the Bible also teaches us to work at everything as if working for the Lord-- so definitely the Bible teaches the importance of hard work, but it is hard work accompanied by a recognition of God's hand in your life. On Jesus' sermon on the mount he says: Blessed are the poor in spirit (blessed are those who recognize how poor they are spiritually) and come to the Lord for help.

Hope that helps. Kindly,

Answer 3

There is a saying, ‘God helps those who help themselves.’ The above words of Jesus show that, in reality, ‘God helps those who are willing to help others.’ Jesus offered refreshment—relief from anxieties—to those who were willing to ‘take his yoke,’ that is, submit to Christ’s direction and serve God and their neighbors just as Jesus did.—Matthew 9:35-38; James 1:27; 1 John 3:17

But these scriptures do not quote your saying word for word.
But the idea is repeated through out the bible.

Answer 4

Psalms 30:17
And let the pleasantness of Jehovah our God prove to be upon us,
And the work of our hands do you firmly establish upon us.
Yes, the work of our hands, do you firmly establish it.
Work brings us satisfaction and brings honor to Jehovah.
