Key Scripture
Psalm 77:11 (KJV)
I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.
Devotional
A hard season can narrow our attention until our current struggle seems to be the only part of our story. We remember what remains unresolved and overlook the help, provision, and mercy we have already received.
In Psalm 77, the writer brings deep distress before God and then turns his attention toward the Lord’s mighty works. Remembering becomes part of the way he responds to questions that have troubled him.
Looking back does not require pretending that every experience has been easy. It helps us recognize that the present difficulty exists within a larger story of God’s faithfulness, even while some questions remain unanswered.
Sister, think about the prayer that sustained you, the person who showed up, or the strength you received for something you thought you could not face. Those memories can help you approach today’s need with renewed gratitude and trust.
Write down one reminder of God’s care and keep it where you can see it. You are not demanding that He repeat the past in exactly the same way. You are remembering who He has been as you bring Him what you need now.
