Midian so impoverished the Israelites that they cried out to the Lord for help.

“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.”

16The Lord answered, “I will be with you, and you will strike down all the Midianites, leaving none alive.”

So Gideon built an altar to the Lord there and called it The Lord Is Peace.

Then Gideon said to God, “Do not be angry with me. Let me make just one more request. Allow me one more test with the fleece, but this time make the fleece dry and let the ground be covered with dew.”

Lord God my Father,

Your way is perfect and Holy, keep me from looking away. My faith is in you but my trust sometimes has question. Allow your Peace to quiet my thoughts so I can accept your Truth and believe. You are always with me, allow that Truth to be my strength.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
