Remember is powerful, even when you can't recall. Last night, I couldn't sleep because of the dark things now in the world and with people I love. I woke up, not able to remember the words of the Lord's prayer, I was that squeezed by evil. I got up, tried to find it in my Bible, couldn't find the pages, but then Colossians 1 electrified on the page- "For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son.." I remembered I was no longer held by the domain of darkness, but by Jesus. It was a struggle to keep remembering that all night, but it is true.
I get what you are saying, but I cannot bring myself to utter the words. I know that God knows my heart and it would be no surprise to Him how I am feeling but I feel disloyal to Him by complaining after all He does for us.

Wow. Thanks for sharing that, Linda.
Love this share, Jon, and the call to remember. Beautiful reflection. Thank you and I’m grateful you keep pressing in even when things are tough.

Totally get that Paula. I think the key is to just be honest and speak what's on your heart. If that's gratitude, that's great!
amen and amen. I love the command "remember" as the "next right thing" and the "next best step"
