So Israel was reduced to starvation by the Midianites. Then the Israelites cried out to the Lord for help.

Then the Lord turned to him and said, “Go with the strength you have, and rescue Israel from the Midianites. I am sending you!”

Then Gideon said to God, “Please don’t be angry with me, but let me make one more request.

Lord God my Father,

Help me to avoid the way of the deceiver and stay focused on your truth. Slay the enemy with in me so I may be pure in my actions.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
