Key Scripture:"You are the God who sees me." – Genesis 16:13 (NIV)

Intro:Have you ever felt invisible? Like you’re doing your best—praying, working, loving—but no one notices? Even God seems quiet?

You’re not alone. Hagar felt that way too. Cast out, afraid, and wandering in the wilderness, she had an encounter with the Lord that changed everything. In that moment, she gave God a name: El Roi—“The God who sees me.”

1. When Heaven Feels SilentThere are seasons when God seems quiet—not because He’s absent, but because He’s working in unseen ways. Like seeds in the soil, faith grows in silence. It’s in those moments of doubt and delay that we must hold to what we know: God sees.

2. You Are Not ForgottenGod sees your long nights. He hears your whispered prayers. He’s not blind to your efforts or pain. Even when others don’t understand your journey, God knows every detail. Psalm 56:8 says He even keeps track of your tears.

3. Your Wilderness Is Not WastedHagar’s wilderness became holy ground. Yours can too. Whether you're navigating single parenting, financial stress, loneliness, or just feeling spiritually dry—God is present. Your wilderness is a setup for a breakthrough.

4. Let God’s Word Remind YouWrite this down today: “I am seen by God.”Repeat it. Declare it. Believe it.Then open your Bible and let His Word wash over your weary soul.
