Then Manoah prayed to the Lord: “Pardon your servant, Lord. I beg you to let the man of God you sent to us come again to teach us how to bring up the boy who is to be born.”

“We are doomed to die!” he said to his wife. “We have seen God!”

23But his wife answered, “If the Lord had meant to kill us, he would not have accepted a burnt offering and grain offering from our hands, nor shown us all these things or now told us this.”

Lord God my Father,

You are almighty and all powerful. Give me courage to approach you with great humility and allow you to rest on me. Give me direction that releases your glory and keep me from getting puffy. Your strength and direction is all I need. help me to allow your wisdom to rest on me no matter where it comes from.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
