Does god really help us?

It is all about beliefs. I believe God helps us if there is anything catastrophic when all humans would die, or he helps us through our conscience or through other humans. There must be some role model or someone who you love the most. Do you see God inside them? However, by this I mean that God is deep inside their mind and God's creation, God's creation is not God. As for your question, I believe that God can only help us if we help ourselves since our future is determined by the decisions we make in our present. Rather than relying on God we should be independent and do hard work and believe in ourselves. If you are satisfied with your hard work, trust God to judge your hard work fairly.
