Judges 6:13

The verse Gideon asks the question:

"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." (NIV)

But in the next verse, the Lord doesn't seem to answer that question. Anyone who can help me to clarify this....please.
