Part 9: The God Who Sees Me
Feeling Invisible to the World, Seen by God
Verse of the Day:
“You are the God who sees me.”
— Genesis 16:13 (NLT)
There’s a kind of loneliness that’s hard to explain.
You can be in a room full of people and still feel unseen.
You watch others get promoted, get engaged, get recognized—while you quietly wonder if anyone even notices you’re trying.
It’s especially hard when you're doing the right things—serving, praying, working hard—and it feels like no one sees you.
But God does.
In Genesis 16, a woman named Hagar felt exactly like that. She was mistreated, used, and left to fend for herself in the wilderness. Alone and broken, she encountered God—and He didn’t just help her, He saw her.
And that changed everything.
God Sees What Others Don’t
You don’t have to fight for attention or validation in the Kingdom of God.
You are fully known and deeply loved, even when the world overlooks you.
God sees:
Every hidden act of kindness
Every prayer you whisper in the dark
Every time you choose integrity over applause
Every tear you’ve cried in silence
“The Lord sees clearly what a man does, examining every path he takes.” — Proverbs 5:21 (NLT)
He sees you. And His attention is better than any spotlight.
You’re Not Behind—You’re Becoming
When you feel invisible, the enemy wants you to believe you’re insignificant. But God is often doing His deepest work in the quiet places.
David was alone in the fields when God called him.
Esther was hidden before she became queen.
Jesus Himself lived 30 years in quiet before stepping into His calling.
If it feels like nothing’s happening, maybe everything is.
Maybe God is building something in you that the world can’t yet see—but He can.

A Prayer to Start Your Day
Lord, I feel invisible sometimes. Like I’m putting in the effort, but no one sees. Help me remember that You do. Thank You for being the God who notices what the world overlooks. Help me live for Your eyes, not the applause of others. And remind me that I am never alone or forgotten. Amen.
