Seems like celebrating past victories was important to God. Now He didn&#8217;t say stay there forever. He didn&#8217;t say to get stuck in the past and stop moving. NO! He told them when you come this way remember. He has more victories for  you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I have a hard time getting into the place of prayer, (let&#8217;s face we all have those moments) but I have found one of the quickest ways I can get the the river flowing is to begin to remember and thank God for what He has done for me. The last thing I ever want to be is unthankful. I don&#8217;t want to ever forget how He has saved me, how He has healed me, how He has provided for me. I want to testify of God&#8217;s faithfulness to help others that are struggling. But I know there is more!
