BECOMING MORE FAITHFUL
What we can learn from her
01God sees women whom people overlook or misuse.
02Distress is not evidence of God’s absence.
03Listen for God’s provision in the place that feels barren.
PRAY IT FORWARD
God who sees, meet every woman who feels used, dismissed, or alone. Open my eyes to Your provision and make me attentive to people the powerful overlook.
