A prayer for when you feel all alone, by Debbie McDaniel, read by Liam Arden.

You are the God who sees me, Genesis 1613.

Sometimes life may feel like a struggle.

Many are grieving the loss of a loved one, others have experienced the pain of divorce

or broken relationships, some have lost jobs, many are facing huge debt, others are

hurting for grown children who seem to have lost their way.

Some are facing a new diagnosis and health issues, others are still waiting for answered

prayers, feeling like God has somehow forgotten.

And many may be surrounded by people yet lonely inside, struggling through depression

and darkness, battling worry, facing big fears, feeling lost in a sea of doubt, wondering

if God even sees or cares.

He does see, he does care, God knows and understands.

He gives us this word of hope for all those who feel alone, overwhelmed, or battling

fear and worry, a powerful word, straight from the story of one young girl who was running

scared, away from home and all she knew, lonely, rejected, hurt, and out of hope.

He had never lost sight of her, he had never stopped caring, though the lies of her own

heart told her otherwise.

The angel of God spoke straight through the lies of defeat, he told her to go back, he

spoke hope and blessing over her in all God had in store.

And hey, Garneau, maybe what we need to remember still today.

Her words breathed out this great truth that secures our struggles and anchors our hope.

You are the God who sees me, Genesis 1613.
