I am aware that it is not found in the bible; however, are you attempting to suggest that God prefers us to sit around and wait to be rescued by Him?

I think that is not the case.

Yes. Exactly what I(we) are saying.

Psalm 34:17 is only one of the places stating this preference:
The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears,
And delivers them out of all their troubles.

We are to humble ourselves and recognize that all are efforts are in vain without His help.
