summoned up
Brought to mind
To summon up is to call forth something from within—courage, strength, memory, or emotion: She summoned up the nerve to ask for a raise.
The phrase suggests deliberate effort to produce what doesn't come automatically.
You summon up memories of the past, summon up enthusiasm you don't feel, or summon up resources for a difficult task.
