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 and greatly increasing flood waters to blot out people whose every intent 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.

God remembered Noah, and the water decreased steadily (vs. 1, 5).

What situation threatens to flood you and your family?  Come honestly before God who remembers you and those you love.  Ask Him to make the floodwaters decrease in your life.

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~”
