In this episode, I’m going to remind you to thank God for what he’s done and trust him for what you need.

Hi, I’m Paul and you’re listening to If You Forget.

2 Corinthians 1:10 says that “he rescued us from mortal danger, and he will rescue us again.”

You may be really struggling right now, and feel like there’s no hope, but remember that the Lord has helped you in the past.

Isaiah 25:9 says “this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us.” Think about all the times you trusted the Lord and he saved you. He’s carried you through so many difficult battles.

Then when you face trouble today and in the future remember that Philippians 1:6 says that “he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

Through Christ, God has started a good work in you, and he didn’t bring you this far just to leave you now. He’ll finish what he started. He promised.

So look back and thank God for the strength and protection he gave you, then look forward and trust him to do it again.  

Let me pray for you:

Father,

Thank you for victories past, present and future. When we are anxious or afraid, remind us that you are always with us and that you have promised to complete the work you began in us. 

We give thanks in Jesus’ name, amen.
