Exodus 7–13: Softening Your Heart

Letting go so God can lead you forward

Why remembering the Savior matters every day

Before the Israelites left Egypt, God gave them a simple instruction:

“Remember this day.”

Why?

Because God knows something about human nature:

We forget.

We forget what He’s done.
We forget how He’s helped us.
We forget how much we need Him.

Why Remembering Matters

When we remember Christ:

• We make better decisions
• We feel more peace
• We stay stronger spiritually

When we forget Him:

• We drift
• We struggle more
• We lose direction

Remembering isn’t just about thinking—it’s about living.

Simple Ways to Remember

You don’t need anything complicated.

You can remember Christ by:

• praying
• reading scriptures
• going to church
• thinking about Him during your day

Small things—done consistently—change everything.
