Remember What God Has Done: The Habit That Strengthens Faith and Restores Hope

You are overwhelmed, and your faith feels thin. Yet you try to press forward, even when your mind feels crowded, and your heart feels tired. That pain point is real, and you are not alone.
I’ve walked with believers for years and have seen one simple truth: when we forget what God has already done, we lose sight of what He can still do.

So today, let’s shift that.
This blog will show you why remembrance matters, how God teaches this practice in Scripture, and how you can build it into your daily life so your faith stays strong even in hard seasons.

A Practice Rooted in Scripture

After God brought the Israelites out of Egypt, He gave them a clear instruction. He told them to remember.
Then He added something even stronger, He told them to teach His words and talk about them often. They were to speak about them at home, while walking, before resting, and when rising up (Deuteronomy 6:7).

This meant remembrance was not just a moment.
It was a lifestyle.

The Israelites had a long history of forgetting God’s goodness. Yet God kept calling them back again and again by saying, “Remember who I am. Remember what I’ve done. Remember My words.”

A Psalmist Who Understood the Assignment

Next, Psalm 85:2 shows us an example of this lifestyle:

“You forgave the iniquity of your people; you covered all their sin.”

The writer was not only grateful.
He was intentional.

He crafted a Psalm to help generations remember God’s forgiveness, mercy, power, and love. He seemed to understand what we often forget, remembrance is a weapon against doubt, fear, and spiritual drift.

Why Remembering What God Has Done Matters

Now, why does this matter to you today?
Because life moves fast.
And stress moves faster.

However, when you pause and remember God’s goodness, several things happen:

1. Remembrance shifts your focus to God’s grace and love

Suddenly your eyes rise above the problem.

2. Remembrance reassures you that you are right with God through Jesus

Your heart rests in His finished work.

3. Remembrance brings hope for the future

Because He was faithful then, He will be faithful now.

4. Remembrance strengthens your faith in God and His Word

Your spiritual confidence grows again.

5. Remembrance increases worship and gratitude

Your heart stirs, and praise becomes natural.

A Story Many Believers Know All Too Well

Let me share something simple yet true.
A friend once told me she felt like God had gone silent. She prayed, but nothing seemed to change. She read Scripture, but her mind wandered. She worshiped, but her heart felt heavy.

Then she tried one small thing.
She wrote down every answered prayer she could remember, from childhood to now. At first, the list looked short. But soon, memories started flowing back.

The moment she finished, she cried—not from sadness but relief.

She realized God had been faithful all along.
And that realization renewed her trust that He would be faithful again.

What You Can Remember Today

If you feel stuck, dry, or discouraged, here are simple things you can remember and thank God for:

• He sent His one and only Son to die for the sins of the world.

• He created the world and still sustains it.

• He filled you with His Holy Spirit to guide you and transform you into the likeness of Jesus.

• He has given you grace and love that never runs out.

• He has delivered you from things you thought would break you.

• He has covered your sin and welcomed you into His family.

Each memory is a stone of remembrance.
Each stone becomes a foundation for stronger faith.
