“One source of strength in prayer is remembering and speaking forth past blessings.”
4One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. 5I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works. 7They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.
Psalm 145: 4-5, 7
37David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee.
1 Samuel 17:37
Hebrews 13:8 (The Passion Translation)
22 Everything you pray for with the fullness of faith you will receive!
Matthew 21:22 (The Passion Translation)
We should never forget what God has done for us! He is faithful. When we go to God in prayer we should remember that He is good and has done great things for us! Rehearsing past victories can stir out faith for victory in our current situations. We can’t live in the past – but when God has been good – we need to be thankful! Psalm 100 gives us the roadmap for going into God’s presence in prayer. “On your feet now—applaud God! Bring a gift of laughter, sing yourselves into his presence. Enter with the password: “Thank you!” Make yourselves at home, talking praise. Thank him. Worship him. (Message Bible)
