When I first started practicing law, my mentor told me to write everything down after speaking to a client or another attorney. I nodded and smiled to myself knowing that I didn’t need to write every little thing down. I had a great memory!
A few years down the pike and some years of practice under my belt . . . and the birth of my child – and well, getting older, I started to see what he meant about writing things down.
Today, I write everything down – even so, I forget.
My relationship with God is no exception to this memory loss issue. I need to remember to remember God.
Sometimes, I can be in the midst of my trouble or trial, and I forget that I have a God who loves me–who is near to me–who will never leave or forsake me. I find myself acting as if I am in this trouble alone.
When I finally remember, I feel foolish. How could I forget about God?
My solution? I try to keep God always on my mind.
1 Thessalonians 5:17 says to pray without ceasing. In other words, keep a constant connection to God through prayer.
Remember to remember God. It will make a difference in how you handle life’s challenges.
