In Genesis 16, Abraham’s wife, Sarah, had grown jealous of Hagar and sent her away. While she was in the wilderness, she was visited by the Angel of the Lord. He saw her tears, told her He heard her cry and made her a promise. Verse 16 says, “Thereafter, Hagar used another name to refer to the Lord, who had spoken to her. She said, ‘You are the God who sees me.’ She also said, ‘Have I truly seen the One who sees me?’” (NLT) It’s easy to feel invisible to others and to God when we’re going through tough times and our problems are so large. I want to remind you, God sees you. You are not invisible. You are not alone. Hold onto God’s promises, trust in Him and know you are in His line of sight.
Here are some Bible verses on God seeing you:
1. In mercy you have seen my troubles, and you have cared for me; even during this crisis in my soul I will be radiant with joy, filled with praise for your love and mercy.
Psalms 31:7 TPT
2. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you [who are willing to learn] with My eye upon you.
Psalms 32:8 AMP
3. Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon those who fear Him [and worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and obedience], On those who hope [confidently] in His compassion and lovingkindness, To rescue their lives from death And keep them alive in famine.
Psalms 33:18-19 AMP
4. The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.
2 Chronicles 16:9 NLT
5. The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right, and his ears are open to their prayers. But the Lord turns his face against those who do evil.
1 Peter 3:12 NLT
