Remember me

Do you think people will remember you? What will they remember about you? Stephen Covey, in his book "The Seven Habits of Highly Successful People," talks about what statements you would like to have on your tombstone.

Nehemiah constantly reminds God in the Old Testament to remember him. Remember me with favor, O my God. Remember me for this also, O my God, and show mercy to me according to your great love. Remember me for this, O my God, and do not blot out what I have so faithfully done for the house of my God and its services.

Does Nehemiah think that God will forget about him? Is it his way of reminding himself why he is doing these things for God?
