Judges 6:12-13

12The Lord's angel appeared to Gideon. He said to him, ‘The Lord is with you, brave fighter.’

13Gideon replied, ‘But sir, if the Lord is with us, why has all this trouble happened to us? Our ancestors told us about all the great things that the Lord did for them. They told us how he brought them safely out of Egypt. But the Lord has not helped us like that. He has turned away from us. He has put us under the power of the Midianites.’
