    The document discusses feelings of inadequacy and how to overcome them. It notes that 1) God's view of us is often different than how we see ourselves, as we may be more capable than we think. It also states that 2) God has given us more strengths and abilities than we realize. Finally, it argues that 3) our worth and ability to accomplish tasks comes less from our own power and more from God's presence with us. When called to act, we can rely on God's strength rather than our own sense of inadequacy.

    11 The angel of the Lord came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, where his son Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to keep it from the Midianites. 12 When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, "The Lord is with you, mighty warrior." 13 "But sir," Gideon replied, "if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us? Where are all his wonders that our fathers told us about when they said, 'Did not the Lord bring us up out of Egypt?' But now the Lord has abandoned us and put us into the hand of Midian." 14 The Lord turned to him and said, "Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian's hand. Am I not sending you?" 15 "But Lord," Gideon asked, "how can I save Israel?
