I was visiting with my dad a few weeks ago; we were laughing as we traveled down some paths of fun memories of family adventures. He was reminiscing of the different people throughout his life who led to experiences that led to where our memories became.
As he was sharing the tales of his young adulthood and life, it became apparent to me my father has been protected and blessed by God! I was gifted with that thought so solid and loud I interrupted my dad to proclaim, “Well, it’s obvious, dad, that your aunt Minnie and uncle Gerard put some heavy prayers of guidance, blessings, and a hedge of safety around you, and even though they’ve been gone for more year’s then I am old, God is still honoring their prayers.” He smiled and said, “They were very spiritual people, who honored and loved God everyday and you are the only one besides me who remembers their names.” My father always speaks highly of these two people who were so influential in his early years.
Have you ever been in a circumstance or had something happen that immediately stops you and brings to mind a prayer you prayed and had forgotten? Knowing at that precise moment that the Lord God had just answered your prayer from many yesterday’s ago? You had forgotten it, but He hadn’t!
Psalm 38:9 NIV “All my longings lie open before you, Lord; my sighing is not hidden from you.”
Psalm 33:13 NIV “From heaven the Lord looks down and sees all mankind;”
James 5:16b NIV “The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”
Isaiah 49:15 NCV “The Lord answers, ‘Can a woman forget the baby she nurses? Can she feel no kindness for the child to which she gave birth? Even if she could forget her children, I will not forget you.”
So the blessing to take away today is…God honors prayers of the righteous, and we are made righteous through the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ! So, whether you are a prayer warrior, have an aunt or an uncle, a grandma or a grandpa, a mom or a dad, a friend or a spiritual brother or sister praying for you those prayers will last your lifetime!
God never forgets our prayers or us!
I hope by this you are blessed! May you have a fun and safe weekend! Thank you for taking the time to join me. 🥰
