Before you ask God for more, thank Him for what you forgot you asked for last year.

GRATITUDE

WHAT THIS MEANS

Answered prayers have a short shelf life in the memory, because a solved problem stops feeling like a problem. The thing you were desperate about last October is now just the background of your life, and it never gets counted. That is why the list of what is missing always looks longer than the list of what arrived.

Before your next request, look back a year and find two things that are no longer worries. Say thank you to God for those by name. Then ask for the new thing, with the earlier evidence still in view.
