Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. Matthew 26:52.
One of the apostles of Jesus had at a time decided to put up a fight in a bid to defend his master, Peter took out his sword and cut off the ear of one of the people who came to arrest Jesus.
Jesus wasn't satisfied with that action and rebuked Peter not to fight the people, He took the ear and healed it back. The Lord Jesus then said, everyone that hold up a sword shall perish by the same sword.
What this means is that, there are battles we can't fight by our own hands. The Lord wants to help us fight our fight, hence, he said call upon me in the day of trouble. Dear steemian, are you having different troubles that you intend fighting yourself? You need to consider the way of Jesus, surrender all matter to him. Let Him fight the fight for you, and you will be filled with endless victory all the days of your life. Share your thoughts below!

You said,
"Let Him fight the fight for you, and you will be filled with endless victory all the days of your life."
That's just not true.
The Bible promises us trials. They make us grow and become more like Christ.
(James 1:2-4 NIV) Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, {3} because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. {4} Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
(1 Peter 1:6-7 NIV) In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. {7} These have come so that your faith--of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire--may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
(2 Thessalonians 1:4-6 NIV) Therefore, among God's churches we boast about your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and trials you are enduring. {5} All this is evidence that God's judgment is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering. {6} God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you

I do not need to read all the misconceived illustration you wrote up there. If Jesus can't fight our battles, why did He tell the people to call upon Him in the day of trouble?
Secondly, what is your understanding between withstanding trials and fighting trials physically? If you really take your time to read and pray for understanding you would know that, the story of Peter cutting off that ear is another form of trial where Jesus even tamed Peter to keep his sword. Meaning when things like such comes, we pray to God to come to our aid.
It isn't biblical for a man to keep quiet and not seek help from God when he is facing trials. It's so saddened that you left a common sense and moral which the short article directs to, and you choose just the part where God ask Christians to consider Him to help fight our battles. Please I advice you read well and learn well. Too much wise-ness would profit you nothing. Even if you want attention, don't distract God's word with your own un-biblical reasoning.
Thanks...
