The phrase of the title is nowhere to be found, but is rather a quote by Benjamin Franklin. It is an adage to bolster the demeanor for those who are working hard in their own rules. They work hard, but do not seek God. It is a lie. We cannot help ourselves before God. Believing in the statement is a feeble attempt to save the self without God. We must entrust ourselves to the care of the Great Healer and trust in God.
