I enjoyed very much a discussion I had recently with others, and one of the scriptures that was highlighted was 2 Corinthians 4:7, which shows that God provides "power beyond what is normal" as a treasure. The scripture is relating to doing God's will while the circumstances are bad, but it was good to consider that although God supplies power beyond what is normal, there is an onus on us to provide the power that IS normal.

In other words, waiting on God to provide power beyond what is normal while we're not providing our OWN power, and doing what we can, is laziness, and not fair to do. It was food for thought for me, and I hope it is for you too. Don't expect God to carry our load that is our own to carry. When we carry our own load, we are told we will be helped, but it's not a logistics service.
