Seen and Heard

“The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their cry for help.” (Psalm 34:15)

There is something about not only being seen but heard. People feel seen in multiple ways; by knowing their name, giving them a gift, and smiling and waving at them. When we are seen it is not in a critical way but, in a caring way. The eyes of the Lord on the righteous does not mean that God is watching us in critical way but looking at us in a caring or watchful way.

God knows where you are, how heavy your heart might feel or even what you are facing. Not only does he know your situation but listens to our cries. God is attentive to our honest prayers. The messy prayers that come from pain, exhaustion, and even fears. Our prayers do not have to polished or prefect since God is attentive to our needs and wants us to cry out to him.

Throughout our day we might face times when we feel as we are overlooked, small, or not seen nor heard. There is one who always sees and hears us and wants us to call out to him. Our prayers do not fade away unheard, but each one is listened too and treasured. When life feels unfair and overwhelming remember we can trust God.

We can always trust God and cry out to him during hard times for he wants to hear from us. He desires our honest prayers and close relationship with us. He always sees us and hears us even when we feel alone. We can be confident that we are always seen and heard by him.
 
Heavenly Father, thank you for you always see us when we feel alone. May we continue to trust you each day.
 
Praying for you,
