“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31.

There are seasons when it can feel as though prayers go unanswered and hearts are left waiting. Even with the assurance that God hears every prayer and loves unconditionally, the passage of time can raise questions, wondering whether He has forgotten.

Every new day is a reminder that God remains faithful to every promise He has spoken. His Word has been tested and proven true, and He is always right on time.

God Remembered Noah

And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged.” Genesis 8:1

  • God remembered Noah and the promises He made to him and his family, saying that He would save them and the animals.
  • God remains faithful to His promises to you.

God Remembered Abraham

“And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.” Genesis 19:29

  • God remembered the prayers Abraham interceded for his nephew Lot. God graciously responded to Abraham’s prayers and delivered Lot and his family from the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.
  • God hears the prayers you are praying for your family.

God Remembered Rachel

“And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.” Genesis 30:22

  • God knew Rachel’s desire to have a child, and one day in God’s perfect time, He answered her constant prayer.
  • Just because God hasn’t spoken to you yet doesn’t mean He won’t soon. Trust Him.
  • God has a bigger plan, His thoughts are higher than your thoughts, and His ways are higher than your ways.

There will come a day when God will remember. Maybe he has told you, “Not yet,” but don’t lose hope. Keep trusting Him because He has not forgotten the promises He has made to you.

  • Though you may have lost material wealth. GOD REMEMBERS.
  • Though you may be going through the fire. Though you may be in the process of perfection. GOD REMEMBERS.
  • Though you may be waiting longer than you thought in an ark. GOD REMEMBERS.
  • Though you may be in the wilderness. GOD REMEMBERS.
  • Though your family is still not saved. GOD REMEMBERS.
  • Though you may be barren. GOD REMEMBERS.

God will remember His promises.

Prayer: Lord, I believe, but help my unbelief. Remind me that every prayer I pray will not return to me void. Your word says that You cannot lie and I believe what You promised. I know that You will answer my prayers and I will trust You if I receive an answer that I do not want. I will remember You and Your faithfulness today and I believe You remember me, too!
