The Lord replied, “Did I not rescue you from the Egyptians, the Amorites, the Ammonites, the Philistines, 12the Sidonians, the Amalekites, and the Maonites? When they oppressed you, you cried out to me for help, and I rescued you. 13Yet you have abandoned me and served other gods. So I will not rescue you anymore. 14Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen! Let them rescue you in your hour of distress!”

In those days Israel had no king; all the people did whatever seemed right in their own eyes.

Lord God my Father,

I place my life with you and trust you to lead me to freedom. Rescue me from my past and allow me to live for today with your plan on my heart. Protect your interest in me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
