God sees me, including what happened to me.

A Bible affirmation for healing from trauma, rooted in Genesis 16:13.

So Hagar gave this name to the LORD who had spoken to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “Here I have seen the One who sees me!”

Genesis 16:13 · BSB

Reflection

Hagar was an enslaved woman, mistreated and alone in the desert. God found her there, and she gave Him a name: You are the God who sees me. What happened to you didn't happen unseen.

A prayer

God who sees me, You saw what happened. Thank You that I was never invisible to You.
