Again the Israelites did evil in the Lord’s sight, so the Lord handed them over to the Philistines, who oppressed them for forty years.

Then Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, “Please stay here until we can prepare a young goat for you to eat.”16“I will stay,” the angel of the Lord replied, “but I will not eat anything. However, you may prepare a burnt offering as a sacrifice to the Lord.”

And the Spirit of the Lord began to stir him while he lived in Mahaneh-dan, 

she was tormenting him with her nagging. 

“You have accomplished this great victory by the strength of your servant. Must I now die of thirst and fall into the hands of these pagans?”

Lord God my Father,

Give me your heart and the courage to use it for your glory. Make me into the Lion and deliver me from the flock. Stir in me for your greatness and protect me from distraction. You brought me this far, now deliver me to your destiny without delay.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
