A prayer to remember God's faithfulness by Alicia Headley, read by Liam Arton.

Only be on guard and diligently watch yourselves so that you don't forget the things your eyes have seen

and so that they don't slip from your mind as long as you live. Teach them to your children and your grandchildren.

Deuteronomy 4.9

Do you ever go through seasons where God does a miraculous work in your life?

Has He freed you from sins of your past or answered a specific prayer?

He finds yourself in so much awe of Him, His Word, His faithfulness that you vowed and never stopped praising Him.

This season brings praise in the morning, the evening and throughout your day.

But as each day passes from the divine marked moment, you forget that moment of His miraculous handiwork in your life.

And therefore, when the next and new circumstance comes up in your life where you need help or answers, you find yourself doubting God and you begin leaning on your own understanding instead.

Over time, you begin trying to control the situation on your own and forgetting God's faithfulness.

It's easy to let God's faithfulness slip from our minds, especially when He's not answering our prayers, not moving in our situation or not speaking in the exact moment that we need Him to.

In today's verse, the Israelites, led by Moses, had just escaped the pursuing Egyptians.

Moses held out his staff and God parted the water of the Red Sea.

Once the Israelites had safely crossed, Moses dropped his staff and the sea closed, drowning the pursuing Egyptians.

Exodus 1421

This was a miraculous work of the Lord.

If I'd seen this in person with my own eyes, I would hope that I would never forget the Almighty God's personal sovereignty and protection freeing me from my enemies.

But we too, like the Israelites, are human. We too, forget God's faithfulness.

In today's verse, Moses speaks to the Israelites, telling them to never forget what they saw, to never forget all the Lord did for them.

And this is the same message for us today.
