Here is a Piper comment on that:
Well, that is a kind of secular effort to express a biblical truth that secular people cannot understand and, therefore, they can’t say it right. What that is trying to say biblically is:
God helps the weak and paralyzed and dead to help themselves so that in all our so-called self-help, God will get the glory because all our self-help turned out to be God-help. That is what they are trying to say. That is the biblical truth.
Stay bright!

Piper’s not perfect (e.g., poor relationship with his own son), but he articulates we’ll. It's a decent short read/listen, especially if you ever find yourself a little “stuck.”
