 It's realizing we are weak, we are poor, we are children, we need help. Jesus, you said that unless we become like children, we'll never enter the kingdom of heaven. And part of becoming like children is to be like children in the sense that they recognize, they accept need. And they accept the help of others. As St. Paul said, when I am weak, then I am strong. The paralytic accepted his weakness and was cured. He was made strong.
