2 Chronicles 20:17 Meaning You Will Not Need to Fight This

You will not win this by fighting, for the struggle itself is the mind resisting what already is. Set yourselves, and stand still. To stand still is not to do nothing. It is to become present, to let go of the frantic inner movement of a self convinced it must control the outcome.

Fear and dismay are only thought reaching forward into an imagined tomorrow. Return to this moment, where the danger you picture does not yet exist, and be still. Out of that stillness a deeper intelligence responds to what is actually here, and it accomplishes what your anxious struggle never could.

Standing still is the last thing a frightened man wants, and the only thing that works against an enemy made of thought. Whatever is fought is fed, because fighter and fought are one energy divided against itself.

Something moves on its own when the doer steps aside. A man who stops wrestling his mind and simply stands, watching the armies of anger and fear come on, sees them lose their force without a blow, because they were living on his participation. The courage asked of Judah was the willingness to do nothing while everything inside screams to act.
