When all of Gideon's men were gathered and camped, there were originally 32,000 men. God said Gideon had too many men for Him to deliver Midian into their hands. At that time, the Israelites were worshipping the gods of the Amorites and had forgotten about Him.

God did not want Israel to think they defeated the Midianites because of their own strength but wanted them to know that it was through Him that they were victorious. And so, the process of choosing the 300 people began.

But what does the process God used perhaps teach us about prayer?

Be expectant and open to Holy Spirit speaking into your situation to bring about a life transformation and cultivate a life of prayer.
