I Remember, I Recall, I'm Reminded

Good morning My Ekklesia Family

Psalm 77:11–12 (NLT)

“But then I recall all you have done, O Lord; I remember your wonderful deeds of long ago. They are constantly in my thoughts. I cannot stop thinking about your mighty works.”

“I Remember, I Recall, I’m Reminded…”

Have you ever found yourself in a moment of silence, overwhelmed not by what’s happening—but by what you’ve forgotten? Forgotten who God has been… what He’s already done… the prayers He’s already answered?

Psalm 77 is a testimony of a soul wrestling with sorrow but choosing remembrance as a weapon.

“I remember…” — That's intentional. Not passive memory, but an act of war against despair.

“I recall…” — That’s reflection. Like flipping through the photo album of grace.

“I’m reminded…” — That’s revelation. When your soul whispers, “God didn’t leave you then, and He hasn’t now.”

The psalmist was in distress, yet chose to meditate on God's past faithfulness rather than current frustration.

Psalm 77 begins in lament (v.1–10), but in verses 11–12, there's a spiritual pivot. The Hebrew verb for “remember” implies an ongoing mental engagement. The psalmist engages both memory and meditation—not just of facts, but of the character of God shown in history.

“Wonderful deeds” (Hebrew: pala’) points to miracles, signs, deliverances.

The repetition of mental action—recall, remember, think—invites us to spiritual mindfulness.

This isn’t nostalgia. It’s faith reactivated by memory.

When your faith feels weak, remember what He's done.

When you can't see your way forward, recall how He made a way before.

When you feel forgotten, remind yourself: “God has never lost sight of me.”

Make remembering part of your daily rhythm:

Journal your blessings.

Testify about answered prayers.

Meditate on God's promises and past interventions.

Memory is fuel for faith, not just a file of facts.

Father God,

When the darkness tries to make me forget,

Remind my soul of Your light.

When despair wants to drag me under,

Let memory lift me up.

I remember when You healed me.

I recall when You provided.

I’m reminded that You are still the same God.

Today, I surrender to the truth of who You’ve always been—

Faithful. Present. Powerful.

And I choose to live like I remember.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

Friend, if you're reading this and you feel distant from God, take a moment to remember—He’s been there every step, even in your silence. Now is the time to return. Say yes to Christ. Let your memories turn into your miracle.
