Reminding God of His Promises

I was recently searching the internet and came across several teachings about “reminding God of His promises”.  I was confused as I had never heard this before.  Remind God?  He didn’t forget His promises did He?  Certainly He did not.  His promises are backed by the honor of His name and the promises come to us under the new covenant.  When we remind God of His promises we are also reminding ourselves of His promises - it is not to try to manipulate God. When we see all of His promises it should be encouraging, even in standing for your marriage.

Here are a few of God’s promises to us.  Praying them will remind you of how much God must love us.
