I Will Not Forget What Grace Has Done

by Torrie Slaughter

There are seasons in life when survival feels like the miracle.

You look back and realize it was not your strength that carried you. It was grace. It was the hand of God holding you together while everything around you felt like it was falling apart.

Psalm 116 is the language of someone who remembers.

“I love the Lord, because He has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy.” (Psalm 116:1)

This is not casual praise. This is personal. This is someone who knows what it means to cry out in desperation and be answered by God.

Sometimes spiritual fatigue comes because we are so focused on what has not happened yet that we forget what God has already done.

We become experts in delay and forget the testimony.

David says, “The snares of death encompassed me…then I called on the name of the Lord.” (Psalm 116:3–4)

That is the turning point.

Not when circumstances changed.

When he remembered where to turn.

The enemy loves spiritual amnesia. He wants believers to forget prayers that were answered, doors that were opened, healing that was given, and strength that came when there should have been collapse.

Because forgetfulness weakens faith.

But remembrance strengthens trust.

Jehovah Raah, our Shepherd, leads us not only forward but also back through memory—showing us where His goodness has already met us.

When leadership fatigue sets in, when ministry feels heavy, when waiting feels long, pause and remember:

You are still here because God has been faithful.

Not perfect circumstances. Not flawless planning.

Grace.

“I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord.” (Psalm 116:13)

Before asking for the next miracle, honor the last one.

Gratitude is not small.

It is warfare.

Prayer

Father, thank You for every prayer You answered that I forgot to celebrate. Thank You for carrying me through seasons I thought would break me. Forgive me for focusing so much on what I still need that I neglect to honor what You have already done. Restore gratitude in my heart. Strengthen my faith through remembrance and remind me that Your faithfulness is not temporary—it is constant. Teach me to trust You again with what I am still waiting for. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Action Step

Write down three specific ways God has been faithful to you in the last year.

Not general blessings—specific moments.

Read them aloud and thank Him intentionally.

Let remembrance become your resistance.
