Genesis 8 ~ Praying God's Word

Please read Genesis 8.

Meditate on this phrase from verse 1.

But God remembered Noah…

God sent the prevailing, increasing, greatly increasing, prevailing more and more flood waters to blot out people whose every intent of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continually (Genesis 6:5; 7:17-24). Noah was in the middle of those waters on the ark for one year and 17 days (Genesis 7:10-11; 8:14). I wonder if Noah ever thought God had forgotten him and his family during the course of that year. I wonder if he ever feared the prevailing floodwaters would blot out him and his family.

But God remembered Noah... What situation threatens to flood you and your family? What feels like it is about to blot you out? Come honestly before “the God and Father of your Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort” (2 Corinthians 1:3) and ask Him to remember you. Confess your sins and the sins of others and ask Him to remember you and yours with His mercy and comfort.

God remembered Noah, and the water decreased steadily (Genesis 8:1 and 5).

God remembers you, and He wants the floodwaters to decrease in your life. He waits for you to humbly ask Him to do it.

Pray Genesis 8:1 and 5 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, remember _________ and me.

Please let these waters decrease steadily.

For the sake of Your name, Jesus~”
