Remember This
Your God is good
Your God sees all
He gives you light
He hears you call
He sends you sun
Along with rain
He knows what’s best
He feels your pain
His mercies come
Both small and grand
In daily bread
In joys not planned
Remember this
When all seems dark
May grace, your faith
And “first-love” spark ¹
Revelation 2:4

I think it’s pretty normal for a Christian to have periods of time when he or she is doing all the right things, worshiping, serving, living according to God’s blueprint, and yet not see many answers to prayer. That’s when we need to remember the little things God does for us every day, as this poem suggests.
One other thing we can do is keep a record of big or small answers to prayer, or just what I call, “God sightings.” I have such a list on my computer. (I make lists for everything.) This list currently contains 135 entries, each one with a date and a description of the answered prayer or God sighting. Some are big things. Some are small but unmistakable evidences of God’s involvement in my life. I probably have more than 135, but I often forget to write things on my list. Why don’t you start a list today for those times, “When all seems dark”?
