The Lord is with you

Judges 6:12 When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, 'The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.'

PRAYER: Lord, forgive me for listening to lies spoken over me by others or even myself. May I be what You say that I am and may I be a mighty warrior in Your hands. Amen.
