“You are the God who sees me.”
Genesis 16:13
Loneliness tells you a story: that no one notices, that you could disappear and it would not matter. It is one of the oldest lies, and one of the most convincing.
Hagar believed it too. Cast out, pregnant, and alone in the wilderness, she was as forgotten as a person can be. And there, of all places, God met her. She gave Him a name no one had dared to speak before: the God who sees me (Genesis 16:13).
You may feel invisible today. You are not. The same God who found a runaway servant in the desert has not lost sight of you for a single second. Tell Him how alone you feel, because the God who sees you is also listening.
A prayer
Lord, when I feel unseen and alone, remind me that You see me fully and love me still. Thank You that I am never truly by myself. Draw near to me now. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
