What is Your Focus? Remember!

As I wrote about last week, I'm focusing this month on Depending on and Trusting God. I said I would, "post about the monthly focus and encourage us all to keep our focus on growing in our own walk with Jesus and then gave you a Scripture passage and prayer to think about and make your own - "Psalm 86:1-5 'Please listen, Lord, and answer my prayer! I am poor and helpless. ² Protect me and save me because you are my God. I am your faithful servant, and I trust you. ³ Be kind to me! I pray to you all day. ⁴ Make my heart glad! I serve you, and my prayer is sincere. ⁵ You willingly forgive, and your love is always there for those who pray to you.'

As you go finish this month, please continue to make this your prayer . . . 'Dear Lord, please listen to and answer my prayer because You are my God and I need You to protect and save me. As I go through this day, please help me remember to live as Your faithful servant and to trust You. Please be kind to me and make my heart glad and I will pray to You all day and serve You! I thank and praise You for how You so willingly forgive me and find comfort and strength in knowing Your love is always there for those who pray to You . . . I will be one of those who pray to You! Thank You, Amen!'"

So . . . this last week of June, let's take time to "remember"! What do we need to remember? Well, consider the following . . . 

• remember God's great faithfulness to us! He, "listens and answers our prayers!" He "Protects and saves us!"
• remember to be faithful to Him!
• remember to trust God!
• remember to turn to Him throughout your day!
• remember to pay attention to how God shows His great kindness to us!
• remember to notice how God makes us glad!
• remember to thank and praise God for His great mercy in forgiving us!
• remember how He comforts and strengthens us!
• remember His great love!

There is so much to remember! If our focus is on "remembering", this will make a tremendous impact on everything else in our week, so "remember"!
