Remind Me

As we walk through this life, we experience mountaintops and valleys. Mountaintop experiences are awesome, but we learn the most from our valleys. During the difficulties it is so easy to get wrapped up in our troubles that we forget what God has already done for us. He has brought us through so much already. I wrote this poem for a friend who was experiencing a great valley. I wanted to share it with you. If you aren't in a low spot in life, it's inevitable that one will come. Lord, remind us of You...

Remind Me

Remind me, Lord, of who You are

and what You’ve done for me.

Please help me to remember now,

my pain is all I see.

Remind me how You came to earth,

an infant babe you were.

You walked among this broken world,

the pain You bore was sure.

Remind me of the ones who scorned,

who all rejected You.

The crown of thorns thrust on your head,

they killed the King of Jews.

Remind me how You rose again,

Your power over death.

You’re the one who knows

the pain I have, in depth.

Remind me of the times we’ve walked

through valleys deep and long.

You brought me through the other side,

my storms becoming calm.

Remind me that You’ve shared my pain,

You’ve walked it all before.

And someday You will take me home

with You forevermore.

And when they bring you to trial and deliver you over, do not be anxious beforehand what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit (Mark 13:11)

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you (John 14:26)
