"God only helps those who help themselves."
2 Chronicles 7:14If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

I'm Catholic and I can't stand the NAB. I don't use it and I know alot of Catholics that don't.
God helps those who help themselves: Another famous quote from the Book of "Isayit"
so if I just sit on my ass all day, God's going to cover my expenses? do the laundry? my kid gets raped I can just count on him to confront the rapist and those that covered it up? instead of calling the police on a home invader, I can count on God to show up and protect my family?
I don't think so.

You'd do better to get an explanation from a clergyman rather than the internet, though here's 3 different sites that addresses your position. I hope this helps.
