God Sees You

January 21, 2023
My joy is gone; grief is upon me; my heart is sick within me.
Jeremiah 8:18

I want to encourage and remind you that the Lord hears your prayers, sees your tears and knows the heartache of your soul. There have been times in my life when my heart has been broken and distraught for reasons that seemed out of my control or honestly unimportant. If I tried to explain the reasons why I was upset or distraught those reasons may not have made sense to others.There are times in life when you cannot describe the pain you are feeling or the heartache and grief you are experiencing, but God knows the unspoken cries of our soul. God hears the prayers you think are silent but that pour before the throne of heaven. God, our comforter is the one who will restore our souls.

He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Psalm 23:2‭-‬3

There are times in life when I have thought that a situation or issue was not a big deal and that I didn’t need to bother God with such small insignificant things. I imagined He was a God with better things to do than listen to my insecurities one more time. There are starving children and other worldwide needs much bigger than me. Right??

Have you ever felt this way too? Have you ever felt that there is no way the God of the universe who created billions of people, who formed Mount Everest and the oceans that stretch as far as the eye can see could ever care about the fact I am upset. Have you ever felt a God so big could not possibly care about an issue so ‘small’? Issues like I do not I have friends, or my relationship with my parents is not how it should be, or there is no way I have enough strength to handle the work day, or take care of a newborn with colic, or deal with a broken marriage, or wonder why no one understands me, or just a day of being sad, depressed and anxious for no real good reason…. We can tend to see God as a big God with bigger problems than ours and that we are just insignificant blips in the pages of history.

However, this perspective is flawed. God who created every major detail of life and the world we know, every mountain and ocean also created the smallest invisible cell. The DNA code that makes you-you was woven together by him. And because of this you can be sure he cares about little details and major occurrences. He cares about the tears shed from a broken relationship and the pain cried out when giving birth. He cares about the flat tire and the question of how to make ends meet financially. Friend, every aspect of who you are is important to God and He says pray continually and cast all of your cares on Him. Not just the cares we think are necessary or the ones we think He will care about. All of them. No matter how big or small we ‘think’ they are, God is God of every portion of your life.

Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
1 Peter 5:6‭-‬7

Peace is found in knowing God cares intimately about you amidst pain, suffering and loneliness. He has the power and might to hold every one of His children and comfort them in the exact way that they need. You do not need to wonder if there is enough room in God’s heart for you. He already said that there is. He loves you abundantly and perfectly and with an everlasting love. In moments when we do not have the words to say the Holy Spirit prays on our behalf and intercedes for us. Do not be afraid to trust God with every aspect of your emotions, both big and small. He knows you better than you know yourself and He wants to speak His truth to your heart and comfort you today.

The Lord Bless you and Keep you,

Kara

P.S. This is a beautiful song about running to the Father! I think you will like it.
