(Genesis 16:13) Ask: Father God, who sees me and knows more of me than I do. Help me to know that I am seen by you. May I feel Your presence today and be comforted by Your love. You are not far off, you are right here with me now. Thank you! In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen. Stillness: Precious one, I see you and know who you are and where you are going. I see everything about you: past, present, and future. I see the path before you and know where you need to go, who you need to meet, and what you need to do. I see everything! When you cry because you think I don’t see you or I AM not paying attention to your plight remember that I never slumber nor sleep. I AM intimately aware of everything you are going through. I see you and set your deliverance in motion before you were aware of the problem. Trust Me more than what your eyes can see. Trust Me to provide for all of your needs, according to My riches and glory in Christ Jesus. Think & Speak: I believe God sees me and takes care of me. I will rest in the knowledge that I am completely seen and God never tires of looking at me. He longs to bless me and strengthen me! 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.
