For it is by grace you have been saved. Through Faith and this is not from yourself. It is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Who does the Bible consider helpless? Everyone! “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” the Bible tells us:
“There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands;
there is no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.” (Romans 3:10-12)
The prophet Isaiah declares that God helps those who are utterly helpless:
You have been a refuge for the poor, a refuge for the needy in their distress, a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat.
For the breath of the ruthless is like a storm driving against a wall ( Isaiah 25:4)
The reward in recovery is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
