Psalms 138:3 "In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul".
Humans have a tendency to forget over time. When God works in our lives we rejoice and praise at that moment but it slowly fades away.
Gods work in our lives also gives us a sense of confidence in ourselves. And sometimes it becomes over confidence. But like David, we must remember it is not our strength but the Lords.
A good way to remember maybe is to maintain a personal daily diary of what God has done for us that day. Doing that helps us to meditate on the day and identify everything God has done, small or big, so that it does not get swept away in the business of life with its daily temptations, problems and wins and losses.
Meditating on Gods work in our daily life during our quiet times also helps us to listen to God when He speaks to us through the Holy Spirit and His word.
Just as the Psalms are a record of Gods work in David's life, try maintaining a record of daily encounters with God, because everyone does have them whether we are aware of it or not.
As God said in Jeremiah chapter 33:3
"Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’” (NIV)
"Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’” (NIV)
Note the word unsearchable.
