If you are truly humble, you will always be ready to seek (and accept!) help from others. The present genteel, self-loving brand of piety assumes, "I don't need anybody; I can set things right with God myself." But as long as you quietly try to work out your own salvation, you won't get anywhere. Only when you recognize your need for others and reach out and open up to them will things move forward.
