Do you feel like that sometimes? I know I do. I end up in situations where you think I would ask God for help. But, I refuse to ask for help because I am pretty sure I can handle it. Or can I? I can just imagine when I tell God, no it's ok God, I got it. God's probably thinking something to the effect of, " No you don't." But, He let me do whatever I want to do anyway, and he will allow things to happen good or bad.
Maybe sometimes, my own dependency on God gets a little stale for various reasons. I could just be feeling lazy to ask for help? I could just be feeling I'm like that of a superwoman where I don't need any help? Or maybe, I could be on a timeout with God or angry with him so there would be no way I would be dependent on him. You might as well call me an independent woman!
I wonder why I am stubborn like that sometimes with God. If it was me, the human nature person, I would lose patience and just let me go on my merry way and not give a listen to me when I did decide to ask for help. However, our God never leaves us to go our merry way. He isn't going to forget about us or turn us away when we ask for help even if we didn't ask for him to help us the last few times. Isn't our God so good to his children?

Deuteronomy 31:8 ESV
It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.”
John 6:63 ESV
It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
Psalm 127:1 ESV
A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon. Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.
