--REMEMBERED IN PRAYER ~~

--In the large African church, the pastor fell to his knees, praying to God. "Remember us!" The pastor pleaded, the crowd responded crying "Remember us Lord!" Watching this moment on YouTube, I was surprised that I shed tears too. The prayer was recorded months earlier. Yet I recalled childhood times when I heard our family's pastor make the same plea to God. "Remember us, Lord!"

Hearing that prayer as a child, I'd wrongly assumed that God sometimes forgets about us. But God is all-knowing He always sees us and He loves us beyond measure (Ephesians 3:17-19).
Even more, as we see in the word zaka, meaning "remember," when God "remembers us, He acts for us. Zaka also means to act on a person's; behalf. Thus, when God "remembered" Noah and "all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, " He then "sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded" (Genesis 8:1).

What a great plea of trust to ask God in prayer to remember us! He'll decide how He answers. We can pray knowing, however, that our humble request asks God to move.

--"Dear Heavenly Father, grow my understanding of Your remembrance of me. Then, where I need You to act, please help me to tell others of your great love."
