Podcasts about El Roi

You ever feel like you're surrounded by a million "likes" and "followers" but still feel completely... invisible? Like, are we just screaming into the void of the internet, or is somebody actually seeing us? And speaking of being seen, has God really noticed all the hard work you're putting in? It's a lot, I know!  In this episode I aim to convey that: You are SEEN by God, especially when you feel invisible. Don't look to people for validation. Go to El-Roi! Even in the desert moments, God is there. Your cry to be seen? God hears it. The next time you feel unseen, turn to God and say, "El-Roi, you are the God who sees me." You are NOT alone, my friend. If this episode touched your heart like a good mariachi song, share it with your friends and leave a review! And don't forget to tag me @biancajuarezofficial. We need to lift each other up. And remember, God sees you, even when you feel like nobody else does.  Until next time,  B RESOURCES/LINKS Takeaways Feeling alone in a crowd is a common experience. The desire for validation is deeply rooted in human psychology. Leadership can be a challenging journey filled with uncertainty. Hagar's story illustrates the struggle of feeling unseen. Being seen by God can provide profound comfort and validation. The need to be recognized is essential for emotional well-being. Isolation can lead to feelings of anxiety and depression. God's recognition is more important than human validation. The journey of faith often involves waiting and uncertainty. We are all seen by God, even in our darkest moments. ⋇ Convoy of Hope - Empowering Women and Girls Together Donate here https://convoyofhope.org/bianca/  ⋇ Bianca's new book Grit Don't Quit: Developing Resilience And Faith When Giving Up Isn't An Option. https://amzn.to/3MO74OC  ⋇ The Grit Don't Quit Bible Study is now available. https://www.biancaolthoff.com/gdq  ⋇ So grateful to our sponsors!

Today we are reminded that God sees you and provides for you. He is El Roi, the God who sees, and Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides. These names of God are beautifully illustrated in the tale of two step-brothers. Both sons of Abraham, but dramatically different stories. Whether you feel forgotten like Hagar or tested like Abraham, God knows your story. He sees your pain, your questions, your hopes, and He will meet you right there. He sees you, and He will see to your provisions.

Discover the profound story of Hagar, the Egyptian slave girl who named God El Roi – "the God who sees me." In this powerful message, we explore how God meets us in our deepest vulnerabilities, hears our pain, and sees the longings of our hearts. Just as He saw Hagar and set her free, He sees you and is working to bring redemption and hope into your story. Do you see the God who sees you?

EL ROI The God Who Sees Us Sister Katie Gilbert Mother's DayMay 11, 2025Voice Over By: Outlaw Peak Media Background Music Provided By: Pixabay

Today, Lisa and Laura kick off a brand-new series, Names of God. In biblical times, names were of great importance—they conveyed a person's essence, history, nature, or character. As we explore the various names of God in the Old Testament, we gain insight into His character. With each name, we will learn a new attribute, deepening our understanding of and growing closer to God. In today's episode, we delve into Genesis 16 which is the story of Abram, Sarai, and Hagar. Here we uncover the first name in our series: El Roi, the God who sees. Do you struggle to believe that you are seen? Do you wonder if God hears your prayers? Do you believe your suffering is insignificant? If so, don't miss this episode. Grab your Bible and get ready to encounter the God who sees you. Open your Heart to our key Scripture. Genesis 16 Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode. Psalm 9:10: Those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you. Exodus 33:19: I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim before you my name, “The Lord”; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. Proverbs 18:10: The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe. Isaiah 43:1: But now thus says the Lord, He who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.” Psalm 56:8: You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle!

Genesis 16

fter more than 110 days in the hospital and Gracie approaching her 98th surgery, this episode explores what real faith looks like in the trenches of caregiving. I share two jaw-dropping moments with Gracie—responses to a psychiatrist that left us all speechless—and unpack what it means to trust “El Roi,” the God who sees, even when our view is blocked by suffering, hospital walls, or exhaustion. We talk about the daily grind of hospital life, how caregivers can practice faithful stewardship of their minds and bodies, and yes—how even pancakes can test your resolve. I also share how Scripture, hymns, and daily devotional habits have carried me through this long stretch. If you've ever wondered how to find hope when the days blur together, or what caregiving looks like with 98 surgeries behind you, this is the one to hear. Faith in suffering, joy in hardship, and the daily resolve to keep walking—these aren't theories. This is the day the Lord has made—even here. Includes reflections on: • Christian caregiving • Psalm 118 & the Hallel Psalms • Hospital survival strategies • Marriage and disability • Devotional insights for caregivers • Singing hymns through suffering • The joy of the Lord in hardship

Ep 98: Mom Burnout: Finding Worth When Your Daily Sacrifices Go Unnoticed Feeling unseen, unappreciated, and burnt out? You're not alone—and this episode is for the Christian working mom who's quietly holding it all together. In today's episode, we're naming the silent struggle so many moms carry: the emotional and spiritual toll of doing all the things while feeling like no one truly notices. From early mornings and packed schedules to patient moments when you're running on empty, the lack of recognition can chip away at your spirit. But here's the truth—you are not invisible to God. He sees you. Every moment. Every sacrifice. We'll dive into the powerful story of Hagar from Genesis 16 and discover the comfort and strength that comes from knowing God as El Roi—the God who sees. I'm sharing how this name of God speaks directly to the heart of the overwhelmed mom who feels discarded or forgotten. You'll also learn: How to reframe your thoughts when appreciation feels absent What it looks like to be anchored in God's affirmation, not man's applause Why being seen by God is enough Practical ways to process your burnout, including journal prompts and a surrender moment to re-center your heart Encouragement to seek support and speak up instead of suffering silently This episode is full of truth, compassion, and real-life reminders that your work is holy—even when no one claps. ✍️ Journal Prompts to Reflect On: Where do I feel unseen or unappreciated right now? How has God been meeting me in that space, even if I haven't noticed? What does it mean for me to trust that being seen by God is enough—even if others never acknowledge what I do?     #ChristianWorkingMom #GraceOverHustle #IntentionalLiving #FaithInTheEveryday #RestIsHoly #PeaceInTheChaos #MomLifeWithGod #JesusOverEverything #SoulCare #PresenceOverPerfection  

(The God Who Sees) Jesus submitted himself to the ultimate test. An enormous stone shut him away from the land of the living, but he burst out of the tomb in everlasting victory over sin and the grave, our purchase complete, to the praise and glory of his Father. And what was his supreme agenda after his early Sunday morning return from the grave? To reestablish connection with his closest followers, re-affirming his continuing love, having proven it as a brother who has laid down his life for his friends, and to quiet all remaining doubts about who he was and what he had done for his disciples, for us, for his Church. John 20:1-18, Jer. 29:13, Genesis 16:14,15,19-21,24-29, Genesis 21:1-17 1. John 20:1-18 – Jesus saw ______________________________________________ 2. John 20:19-21, 24-29 – Jesus saw ______________________________________ 3. John 21:1-17 – Jesus saw ______________________________________________ There are mysteries you can solve by taking thought. There are other mysteries that do not conceal a truth to think your way through, but whose truth is itself the mystery. The more you try to fathom it, the more fathomless it is revealed to be. To say that God is a mystery is to say that you can never nail him down. Even on Christ the nails proved ultimately ineffective. ~Beyond Words, 2004, page 267, Frederick Buechner.

Welcome to another heartfelt episode of Faith with Friends, where we spend time looking into the spiritual dimension of being truly seen by God. In a world often confined to surface-level interactions and perfected social media images, host Lisa Lorenzo invites listeners to embrace the deep, comforting reality of El Roi—“The God Who Sees.” Through a rich exploration of biblical scriptures, including passages from Genesis, Psalms, and Matthew, Lisa paints a portrait of a loving, attentive God who knows us intimately and cares for us beyond measure.In this episode, key scriptures such as Genesis 16:13, Psalm 146:9, and 1 Samuel 16:7 illustrate God's profound understanding of our hearts and lives. Lisa emphasizes how El Roi is present with us in our deepest struggles and moments of isolation, offering solace and encouragement. By uncovering the meaning of God's all-seeing presence, listeners are encouraged to find comfort in their suffering, be transparent with God, and develop a compassionate vision for seeing others through God's eyes. This transformative theme urges a move from feeling unseen to recognizing and rejoicing in being fully known and deeply loved by God. Join us in this reflective journey as we discover the beauty of being seen by the Divine.Key Takeaways:God's all-seeing nature is exemplified by the Hebrew name El Roi, meaning "The God Who Sees," who is with us in our most isolated moments.Biblical passages indicate that God observes not just our actions but our hearts, offering divine comfort and care in times of trial.Embracing transparency with God allows us to drop our masks and stand authentically before Him, knowing He loves us despite our flaws.Developing a God-like vision helps us see and support others who feel invisible or undervalued in their personal or social lives.Understanding and accepting that we are fully known and loved by God provides immense freedom and peace.Notable Quotes:"El Roi, the God who sees, invites us to find comfort in being fully known and truly loved by our Creator.""God deliberately turns his attention towards us, not just observing but guarding, protecting, and preserving.""Search me, God, and know my heart. There is freedom in dropping the masks we wear for others.""Even when others fail to see you, there is one whose vision is perfect. El Roi sees you fully and loves what he sees.""The same God that sees our flaws also sees our potential, and the God that witnesses all of our weaknesses also witnesses our worth."

Introducción¿Cuántos aquí creen en Dios? y ¿Cuántos le creen a Dios? estas son dos cosas totalmentediferentes el creer y creerle. Creer en Dios casi todo el mundo cree que existe un Dios, pero creerlea Dios en una cosa diferente.Santiago 2:19 “Tú crees que Dios es uno; bien haces. También los demonios creen y tiemblan.”¿Qué es creerle a Dios? Creerle a Dios es confiar en Él, en su Palabra, en sus promesas. Algo difícilpara el ser humano es creer en lo que no se puede ver, en lo que no se puede tocar, en lo que notenemos enfrente de nosotros.(Mencionar tema y hablar de la imagen: miedo, confianza, seguridad, seguridad)A diario estamos expuestos a situaciones incómodas que nos desalientan y nos llenan de temor, ypreocupación, pero allí en medio de lo que está aconteciendo en nuestras vidas debemosagarrarnos del evangelio y avanzar creyéndole a Dios.Pero cuando la situación adversa viene una vez, y otra vez más y nuevamente nos golpea sinavisar, quizás nuestra reacción no sea la misma aunque ya hayamos escuchado el mensaje de Diosen más de una ocasión…Cuántas veces venimos escuchando la Palabra de Dios y en el momento decreerle a Él, se nos olvida lo escuchado. Nuestra humanidad a flor de piel.La palabra de Dios nos enseña mediante este pasaje de 1 Reyes 17 uno de los escenarios dondeDios se manifestó en gran manera usando al profeta Elías. Quien no dudó en ningún momento enobedecer el mandato de Dios.En aquellos tiempos Israel había sido desmoralizada ya que sus antiguos reyes llevaron al puebloa la idolatría, ya estaban rindiendo cultos a dioses paganos como Baal, por lo que no había ningúnsacerdote íntegro que llevara la Palabra de Dios al pueblo, por esto fue Elías elegido por Dios asícomo a otros hombres.Elías como sacerdote de Dios vivía en Fe y hacía como Él le ordenaba. Luego de haber traído laprofecía de la sequía al rey Acab 1.estuvo escondido en el arroyo de Querit y al cabo de unos días2.por ordenanza de Dios partió a Sarepta a encontrarse allí con una viuda y 3.un milagro.***El Señor traía a mi corazón el otro día una Palabra que primero fue para mi y luego meencomendó se la impartiera a alguien de aquí…llegó en un momento de adoración.Y hoy se la comparto a todos: “Si tu problema tiene un nombre, el Dios que servimos tambiéntiene nombre: Yahweh, Rapha, Elohim, Shaddai, Jireh, Adonai, El Roi.***Support the show

When you mess up, the cruelest voice in your life is often your own. In this episode, Daron Earlewine unpacks the first foundation—to be seen—and how healing begins when we see ourselves the way God sees us. Key Takeaways: You can't love others well if you silently reject yourself. Being seen is the first building block of love—and it starts with how you see yourself. Selective blindness keeps us from loving others, especially those who are different from us. Digital distraction is killing our ability to connect and be present with people. God is El Roi—the God who sees you—and He calls you to do the same for others. Quotes: "The meanest person to you is often… you." "We reject ourselves and don't even realize it—it's no wonder we struggle to love others." "Being seen is where love begins." "If people feel invisible, they can't feel loved." "God sees you at your worst and still calls you worthy."

El Roi: The God Who Sees Me

No matter where you are, God sees you, hears you, and loves you.

We don't always get to choose our circumstances, but we trust God is a God who sees us.

One of the most overlooked and often misunderstood women of Genesis is the slave woman Hagar. She is used and abused, tossed out and forsaken. But not by God. In her lowest moments God saw her and knew her name. He called her and gave her a promise and a purpose. And for all of this, she named Yahweh, "El Roi," which means "the God who sees me." When you are down and defeated, God sees you too. He knows your name. He has a promise and a purpose for you.

If you're going through a difficult season, this episode is for you. You are seen. You are not alone. God is with you.  Nuggets of wisdom in this episode Faithfulness Matters. Even in pain, showing up has value. God honors consistency. You Are Seen. No matter how hard life gets, God sees you (El Roi) and cares. Prioritize What Truly Matters. Love, faith, and protecting your children outweigh everything else. Key scriptures: Ezekiel 44, Genesis 16 Join the Messy Can't Stop Her Sisterhood at https://www.facebook.com/groups/3204395256540448/If you would love to share your story on the #MessyCantStopHer podcast, click here to let me know.

TO KNOW ABOUT GOD BY HIS NAME (EPHESIANS 4:6) Today, I want to spend the entire message talking about God.  I just happen to believe that God is the biggest subject that we can talk about, at any time, as we study the Word of God.  And the amazing thing to consider is that there is so much in the Bible about God, that to talk about God for 45 minutes today would be like trying to bail out an ocean with a teacup.  We will only scratch the surface.   But there are some things that we can know about God, and we can know God without knowing everything about God.  You also don't have to know all that the Heavenly Father does when He administrates the universe in order to know God. And so, we can find out some things about God by objective observation, but we can really only know the heart of God, the goodness of God, by revelation. And how do we know the goodness of God? And what kind of a revelation has God given of Himself? Certainly, the Bible is the most complete way that God has revealed Himself to us.  But, did you know that one of the greatest revelations that God has given of Himself are the names of God. The Bible says, in (Psalm 9:10) “And they that know thy name shall put their trust in thee …”  This tells us that to know the names of God is a great thing.  So, today, I'm going to give you the names of God. Now, not all of the names of God, but I have selected some of them.   Click on the play button to hear a message on how God reveals Himself to us by His names. He is the God of strength, “Elohim.” He is the God of sovereignty, “Jehovah.” He is the God of superiority, “Adonai.” He is the God of sufficiency, “El Shaddai.” He is the God of supremacy, “El Elyon.” He is the God of stability, “El Olam.” He is the God of sympathy, “El Roi.” All of these names are wrapped up in one sweet name, Jesus. There is one God and Father who is above all—that is the greatness of God. And through all—that is the goodness of God. And in us all—that is the grace of God. And it is all summed up in one person—and that's Jesus. Now, you'll never know the Father, until you receive the Son.  This is a live recording of The Master's Class Bible Study at LifeChange Church Wichita, KS. Amen.

Pastor Tom Kang explores the powerful story of Hagar and the divine encounter that unveils God as El Roy, "the God who sees me." Delve into themes of feeling unseen, the human longing for recognition, and the transformative recognition of being seen by God. Reflecting on Hagar's wilderness experience, Pastor Tom emphasizes how God meets us in our darkest moments, turning wilderness into worship. Drawing connections to biblical figures like David and Elijah, Pastor Tom challenges listeners to define themselves as beloved by God and find identity through His loving gaze.

In the 2nd messgae of our series, Pastor Wendy delivers the message about the "God who sees".

The birth of Isaac was the fulfillment of a 25 years wait for Abraham and Sarah; and yet, this fulfillment of God's promises sets up several other key events in the Bible. So join us as we continue to explore God's Word and how its message fits together and even applies to our lives today!  DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    What miracle happens in Genesis 21? Why does this miracle help us understand the message of Genesis 22 when God calls Abraham to offer up Isaac?  2.    What were God's promises to Abraham in the preceding chapters and why was the birth of Isaac a necessary step in bringing about the fulfillment of those promises?  3.    How was this miracle fulfilled in both Abraham's and Sarah's life? How old were they at the time of Isaac's birth? 4.    How long did it take between God's first promises to Abraham back in Genesis 12 and their fulfillment here in chapter 21? How do you think Abraham and Sarah felt during that time? What kinds of things do you think they were telling themselves as they waited for the Lord to fulfill His promises? How might you have been working through such a long delay? 5.    Back in Genesis 16, Abraham had a son with Hagar named Ishmael. How was Ishmael's conception different than Isaac's? What importance does that difference have in the identity and role of the children of Israel?  6.    What was Sarah's response to Ishmael's mocking in verse 10? What was the impact of her response on Hagar and Ishmael's life? How old did the study suggest that Ishmael was? Why would this be different than Abraham abandoning a child?  7.    After Hagar and Ishmael leave Abraham's household, the Lord visits her in her distress. The study explained part of the comfort and encouragement the Lord gave to her was by clarifying what resources and solutions were within her reach. What were they? How can this help us in our own prayers when we cry out to the Lord in our own times of distress?  8.    The study mentioned that as people grew in their understanding of God, it changed how they referred to Him. Melchizedek called upon God as “El Elyon” meaning “God most High” in Genesis 14:19. Hagar called upon God as “El Roi” meaning “the God who sees” in Genesis 16:13. Abraham calls upon Him as “El Olam” meaning “The Everlasting God” here in Genesis 21. Which of these names has the most significance to you and why?   Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis! Available on Amazon!

"A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." C.H. Spurgeon's quip holds true, especially in our age of social media and sound bites. Truth can seem outdated and old-fashioned, and upholding Biblical standards may seem out of sync with the times. Ephesians 6:14 tells us, "Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness." Truth is not relative or subjective. Truth is a Person - Jesus Christ - and is knowable. Today, we explore the belt of truth and how girding our waist with truth allows us to stand firm at all times and in all seasons. This episode also features my personal and recent testimony and God's faithfulness as El Roi, the God who sees me. (RAR2025EP03)

A year or so ago, I explored the trauma that Isaac suffered when his father tried to sacrifice him on Mount Morah. In this episode, I tell the story of the tragic aftermath of that harrowing event. Based on the story that is told in Genesis 22:19-Genesis 24:67. The story of Hagar's encounter with El Roi is told in Genesis 16. Show notes have been posted at retellingthebible.wordpress.com.

Presented by Lauren Stibgen Sometimes it just feels like I blend in. Do I really matter at all? If I am honest, this mantra can play out in every area of my life: work, home, ministry, parenting. You name it. I feel small, unseen. I know I am not alone, and much of this small and unseen feeling stems from forgetting our identity starts with El Roi—a God who sees me. I am sure most of you have heard the terms omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent. For now, let's focus on omnipresent. This means God is present everywhere at the same time. In this big world he created, he sees me and you right now—in this moment. As we start this new year, let's rest in this omnipresence of God. Pause for a moment and think about it. Maybe you are setting forth plans for this year or reminiscing on what was. Maybe you are feeling small and unseen. Maybe you are dealing with sin that is hidden. In each of these scenarios God is El Roi—a God who sees. Just when you think you are alone, whether it is with a thought, feeling, or, well, sin, you realize you are always seen. You are seen in each moment, watched over in your rest. God sees. Perhaps this is comforting to you, like it was to Hagar. In Genesis we learn Sarai gives Hagar to Abram to bear a child because she is barren. When she becomes pregnant, Sarai becomes cruel and Hagar departs, alone into the desert. God provides for her, and even speaks to her in this low moment! She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me” (Genesis 16:13). I have felt put off, alone, wandering, and in need of provision. I can empathize with Hagar. She was doing what she was asked by someone she trusted. The result was not what she expected. She was alone—except she wasn't. Perhaps the thought of God seeing you causes fear. The path you are on has some unrepented sin he sees. There is not one moment you are not alone with God. The good news is this is the best time to talk to God! If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Whether comfort or fear, take heart. El Roi—the God who sees—loves you and wants for your good.

Presented by Lauren Stibgen Are you anything like me? I find myself wondering how another year is coming to a close. The older I get, the faster they seem to go. Honestly, sometimes I am just tired. Competing priorities of work, family and attempting to maintain some semblance of wellness during our most gluttonous time of year has me feeling weak. While I am in a good habit of starting my day in God's word and journaling, sometimes the time is hurried. How much do I “know” God? One of the ways I am drawing near to God this season is through studying his names. You have heard a lot about Emmanuel this season, as we celebrated the birth of Jesus. It's the beautiful name that reminds us God is with us, but this week I want to focus on some of the other names of God. Emmanuel reminds me of the one and only gift that Jesus is. God as man. He walked this life to rescue the sinner like me with the ultimate sacrifice of his life on the cross. This reminds me God is relational, and he wants me to know him and be in relationship with him. As working women, it is easy to let life get the best of us like I mentioned above. Perhaps as you approach year end, finances are tight. Maybe finances aren't only tight, but you are looking for work. With the end of the year, maybe you are in the process of performance evaluations at work. You feel like you have done so much but it is evident no one sees it like you do. As a working mom, maybe you are asking for some extra helping hands during the holidays from your spouse or children and they aren't hearing you. And, overall, you are feeling down, or maybe all of this has taken a physical toll on your body. The Bible is full of reminders about our God. He is our provider. He sees us. He hears us. And God is our healer. What I have come to understand is God wants to be my everything. The names he uses to describe himself to me are all reminders that he is truly all I need. If you need extra strength for this season like me, join me this week as we consider the names of God: Jehovah Jireh, El Roi, Elohim Shama, and Jehovah Rapha.

This weekend, we will join together to proclaim the good news of Christmas alongside our brothers and sisters. Ed will be preaching on an additional name of God, El Roi, which means "The God Who Sees."

The God Who SeesDecember 15, 2024 • RD McClenagan • Genesis 16:7–14This Sunday, RD McClenagan continues our Advent series, focusing on the names of God and His unchanging nature. He looks at the name El Roi, "The God Who Sees." The longing to be seen, heard, and valued persists throughout life, shaping our interactions and deeply influencing how we experience love and belonging. The story of Hagar in Genesis 16 demonstrates God's attentiveness, as He sees her in her distress, asks meaningful questions, and provides for her, showing that His care extends to those society may overlook. To be fully known and truly loved is liberating and transformative, and it calls us to see, hear, and love others in the same way God does for us.WEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/

With all you are going through in life, do you ever wonder if God sees you? Do you ever just feel like you need to escape but don't want to miss God in the midst of the escape because He just might be planning something better? What if God is the escape, but we have to be willing to be still and lose ourselves in the love and faithfulness of El Roi~The God Who Sees. God sees His daughters, and He is not slack in what He is doing, even in the midst of what may seem like the longest and greatest battle of your life! 

Pastor Brian highlights the ever-present and faithful nature of God. Drawing from Ezekiel 48:35, he reminds us that God's presence is constant, even when we focus on problems rather than the Problem Solver. Through Psalm 139, we are assured that God is with us in our darkest doubts and furthest wanderings. Pastor Brian also reflects on Jehovah El Roi, the God who sees, using Genesis 16:13 to show that God's watchful care extends into the hidden and unseen parts of our lives. Faithfulness, he notes, is rooted not in our circumstances but in God's unchanging character. Finally, he introduces Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals, from Exodus 15:26, emphasizing that God's healing power purifies both body and soul, offering restoration and wholeness. Through these divine names, the sermon calls believers to trust in God's presence, provision, and healing.

Today's Passage: Genesis 16: 11-13 And the angel of the Lord said to her,“Behold, you are pregnant    and shall bear a son.You shall call his name Ishmael,    because the Lord has listened to your affliction.He shall be a wild donkey of a man,    his hand against everyone    and everyone's hand against him,and he shall dwell over against all his kinsmen.” So she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, “You are a God of seeing,” for she said, “Truly here I have seen him who looks after me.” Today's Prayer: Father we love you. We long to for the day we will see you face-to-face, But, in the waiting, we rest in knowing that you are the God who sees us in this very moment. We rest in knowing that you see us in our laughing and in our weeping.We rest in knowing that you see every longing and every place of brokenness.We rest in knowing that you see every high and every low. Throughout this day, attune our hearts and minds to you.Let our eyes not drift from your glory.Let us not forget your deep, unwavering love for your children. When we are tempted to numb the pain through our own strength, Keep our eyes on you.When we struggle to see the good in your plan for today, Keep our eyes on the promised joy that is to come. You are the God who sees all that was, all that is, and all that will be.We trust your good and perfect ways.For more information about this Advent season, visit our Christmas at Fellowship page.
