DAY 07 · 6 MINUTE DEVOTIONAL

When you feel overlooked

Hagar learned in the wilderness that human disregard does not make a woman invisible to God.

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

You are the God who sees me.
Genesis 16:13

SIT WITH THE WORD

Hagar’s story contains painful power and mistreatment. God met her in flight, heard her distress, and addressed her personally. He was not confused about her location or indifferent to her pain.

Being seen by God does not make harmful treatment acceptable. It gives you dignity and courage to seek wise help, safety, and truth while trusting that your story is held before Him.

REFLECT WITH JESUS

Where do you feel unseen or dismissed?

1What does God see that others have missed?

2Who around me needs to be noticed today?

ONE FAITHFUL STEP

Carry it into today

Tell one safe person what you have been carrying alone.

PRAY

God who sees, meet me in the wilderness. Protect my dignity, guide me toward wise support, and help me see overlooked women with Your compassion. Amen.
