Claiming the Promise of God
Remember the instruction you gave your servant Moses, saying, “If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations, but if you return to me and obey my commands, then even if your exiled people are at the farthest horizon, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen as a dwelling for my Name.”
Nehemiah 1:8-9
Nehemiah asked God to remember. I know God doesn’t forget His promises. Why did Nehemiah said it, then? It’s because he needs to remember God’s promises. By including the promises made by God in my prayers, I shall remember my faith has its purpose.
O Lord, I thank you for all the promises you’ve fulfilled. You said you’ll provide my need – you have! You said you’ll protect me – you do! You promised me eternal life – you will! I’m grateful for all you’ve done. I’m thankful for your blessings. I put my life in you, and claim the promises for my life. Amen.
