The Lord Remembers Us in Our Wretched State

Dr Jito Vanualailai

In Psalm 136:23, we read “The Lord remembered us in our wretched state, for his love endures forever.”

Since the Book of Psalms is the 19th book of the Bible, the identifier of Psalm 136:23 is 19+136+23=178.

The 178th prime number is 1061. Therefore the divisors of 1061 are the just the numbers 1 and 1061. The arithmetic mean of 1061 is therefore (1+1061)/2=531.

Conclusion: When we pray the Lord’s Prayer, we petition our Father to remember us in our wretched state, knowing that His love endures forever.
