Psalm 103:2

Psalm 111:4

AS HUMANS, we tend to forget God’s blessings and goodness, especially during difficult seasons. That is why God instructs us to remember the good things he has done: so that we will never forget his faithfulness. If you need reminders of God’s work in the past, ask yourself, How has God answered previous prayers? What was one unexpected gift he has given me? When was a time when he allowed me to experience his presence? Answering these questions will help you gain perspective and encouragement, no matter what difficulty you are going through. Set aside time to remember God’s work in the past in order to find hope for the future.
