“You can pray all you want, but eventually David had to pick up a stone and act against Goliath” is a saying that has been printed on many images. That is, positive action is needed to defeat an enemy (sometimes one’s own government).

“If you are Praying for a miracle. Do something. David had to pick up a stone Moses raised his staff Boy gave his bread and fish. #PrayHard” was posted on Twitter by Rick Robinson on August 20, 2016. “at some point, King David had to pick up a stone and slay Goliath” was posted on Twitter by Larry Clark on June 28, 2020.

“YOU CAN PRAY ALL YOU WANT BUT EVENTUALLY DAVID HAD TO PICK UP A STONE AND ACT AGAINST GOLIATH” (shown on an image) was posted on Facebook by Adele Braun on September 14, 2021. The Facebook image is usually credited to Mike Rilling, but the original is not available.

Wikipedia: Goliath
Goliath (/ɡəˈlaɪəθ/ gə-LY-əth) is described in the biblical Book of Samuel as a Philistine giant defeated by the young David in single combat. The story signified Saul’s unfitness to rule, as Saul himself should have fought for Israel. Scholars today believe that the original listed killer of Goliath was Elhanan, son of Jair, and that the authors of the Deuteronomic history changed the original text to credit the victory to the more famous character, David.

I tend to agree with you but I always have this thought in the back of my mind; at some point, King David had to pick up a stone and slay Goliath.
