The Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and for seven years he gave them into the hands of the Midianites. 

The Lord turned to him and said, “Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian’s hand. Am I not sending you?”

“Pardon me, my lord,” Gideon replied, “but how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family.”

When the three hundred trumpets sounded, the Lord caused the men throughout the camp to turn on each other with their swords.

Lord God my Father,

Protect my heart and keep me from evil thoughts. Give me strength to destroy the evil within and around me. Keep me from questioning your strength in me and cause confusion to overwhelm the enemy of your Truth.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
