A Prayer to Remember God’s Loving Faithfulness – Your Daily Prayer

A Prayer to Bear in mind His Faithfulness
By Ashley Moore 

“We’ll use these stones to construct a memorial. Sooner or later your kids will ask you, ‘What do these stones imply?’ Then you may inform them, ‘They remind us that the Jordan River stopped flowing when the Ark of the LORD’s Covenant went throughout.’ These stones will stand as a memorial among the many folks of Israel endlessly.” – Joshua 4:6-7, NLT

The hand of God was plain once we bought the land the place our household now resides. I needed our children to develop up with a relentless reminder of God’s faithfulness and provision. Have you ever ever arrange a memorial to recollect God’s faithfulness? A buddy of ours received a tattoo with the variety of stripes that Jesus received when He went to the cross to remind him of the sacrifice of our Savior. One creator I do know retains a operating checklist of issues she is grateful for to simply recall God’s faithfulness. My husband and I arrange a stack of stones on the finish of our driveway in order that when our youngsters and future grandchildren requested about them, we might retell the story of God’s provision. 

When God instructed Joshua, the nation of Israel’s chief, to get stones from the river to stack as a memorial, He needed the folks to have a visible reminder of His previous faithfulness. God needed the folks to have a method to endure their current and future struggles primarily based on His character and never their emotions. And God knew that His folks would overlook in the event that they did not have some reminder. And we, too, are forgetful folks. 

• We overlook the place we put our keys. 
• We overlook the plans we made for dinner with the neighbor. 
• And we overlook the 1000’s of the way God has been trustworthy to us.

We do not wish to lose our keys, so we solely grasp them in a selected place at residence. We’d hate to face up our mates unintentionally, so we put a reminder in our calendars about dinner. And since our relationship with God is important and essential to us, we have to memorialize His faithfulness. 

So possibly you wish to stack stones, put marbles in a jar, or write reminders for your self. No matter you do, always remember how trustworthy God is, has been, and can be to you sooner or later. And each alternative you’ve, share why you set these reminders up with these round you too! Could none of us neglect to memorialize His faithfulness. 

Let’s pray:
Expensive Lord, 

We thanks on your faithfulness. Scripture tells us You’re trustworthy from one era to the subsequent (Psalm 119:90). We see Your faithfulness to the Israelites, Gentiles, foreigners, and the folks and nations alive proper now.

Lord, we reward You for Your endless mercy and that Your Phrase by no means fails (Luke 1:37). 

Thank You that You by no means go away or abandon us, and You sealed us for eternity with You by giving us Your Spirit (Hebrews 13:5; Ephesians 1:13-14). Lord, thank You for the visible reminder of Your final act of faithfulness to us on the cross. God, if You may try this for Your undeserving kids, will You not be trustworthy to look after our lesser wants? You’re good, solely good, and at all times good.
