Your Forgotten Prayers Are Not Forgotten by God

Scripture: Luke 1:13 — “But the angel said to him: ‘Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard.’”

Zechariah probably prayed for a child years earlier—prayers that eventually faded into silence as he grew older. But the angel’s words reveal something powerful: God remembers every prayer we pray, even the ones we forget.

God’s timing is not like ours. He often works behind the scenes, aligning circumstances, preparing hearts, and weaving His purpose together until the right moment arrives. When God finally says “yes,” His answer is usually far bigger than the prayer we prayed.

Revisit one prayer you gave up on. Bring it back to God with fresh trust.

Pray: “Lord, help me believe You’re still working on the things I prayed for long ago.”
