The Lord helps those who help themselves.

That is not scriptural.

[IrishBrigade]

‘That is not scriptural.’

so therefore it is not a true statement...?

I see that phrase “God helps those who help themselves” is more closer to the truth of the Bible than the idea that God does everything for man while man sits idly by on his rear end doing nothing.

Scriptural or not, WW 1 was a prime example of christians called to arms. We won owing to the Lord. If we sat back and watched... well you know.
