Remember & Rejoice: Rehearsing God’s Faithfulness

“But then I recall all You have done, O Lord; I remember Your wonderful deeds of long ago.”— Psalm 77:11 (NLT)

Before you rush into what’s next, God often invites you to pause and look back. Not to live in the past — but to remember. Remembering isn’t nostalgia; it’s a spiritual discipline. It strengthens faith, restores hope, and re-centers your heart on truth.

When life feels heavy or uncertain, remembering becomes a weapon. It reminds your soul that God has been faithful before — and He will be faithful again.

📖 Psalm 77:11 (NLT) - “But then I recall all You have done, O Lord; I remember Your wonderful deeds of long ago.”

Beauty, rejoicing doesn’t mean the year was perfect. It means God was present. And that alone is reason to praise Him.

✨ Here is what I've learned

1. Remembering reveals patterns of God’s faithfulness you may have overlooked.

It’s easy to focus on what didn’t happen or what went wrong. But when you intentionally look back, you begin to see how God provided, protected, redirected, and sustained you — even in seasons that felt confusing. Memory reframes your perspective.

2. Rejoicing restores strength to weary places.

Joy isn’t denial — it’s defiance. When you rejoice, you declare that hardship didn’t have the final word. Worship shifts your posture from survival to trust and reminds your soul that God is still worthy of praise.

3. Gratitude prepares your heart for what’s next.

A grateful heart is fertile ground for future faith. When you honor what God has already done, you position yourself to receive what He’s about to do. Gratitude doesn’t close chapters — it sanctifies them.

Reflect & Journal:

1. Psalm 103:2 (NLT) - “Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things He does for me.”

💭 Forgetting weakens faith. Remembering strengthens it.

2. Lamentations 3:22–23 (NLT) - “The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is His faithfulness.”

💭 Even in hard seasons, God’s mercy met you every single morning.

3. Deuteronomy 8:2 (NLT) - “Remember how the Lord your God led you through the wilderness…”

💭 The wilderness wasn’t wasted. God was shaping you the whole way.

🔄 Rhythm Shifts: Remembering with Intention

Beauty, remembering doesn’t happen by accident — it happens on purpose. These rhythm shifts will help you honor God’s faithfulness as you finish the year strong.

1. Shift from rushing forward to reflecting back.

Before planning the next season, take time to acknowledge the last one.

💡 Write down three moments this year where God clearly showed up for you.

2. Shift from focusing on loss to honoring lessons.

Not everything turned out the way you hoped — but everything taught you something.

💡 Ask God, “What did you teach me this year that I don’t want to forget?”

3. Shift from silent gratitude to spoken praise.

Praise solidifies remembrance. Speak it. Share it. Celebrate it.

💡Thank God out loud today for one thing He carried you through.

Pray This Prayer:

Dear God, thank you for walking with me through every high and low of this year. Help me remember your faithfulness clearly and honestly. Restore my joy as I rehearse what you’ve done. May gratitude anchor my heart and strengthen my faith as I prepare for what’s ahead. I praise you for being a God who never leaves and never fails. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
