•A Prayer for When You Feel Invisible•By Anthony Valente👉 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. (Hebrews 4:13)I was the last one standing yet again. When it came to playing soccer, I was a slow runner, I was overweight, I was usually the last one chosen. At those particular times in my childhood, I felt invisible. Even though I knew I wasn’t good at soccer, it was still a surprise every time I walked toward the last team by default, because I was the only one not picked.There are many reasons why we can feel invisible in life. Maybe you feel invisible at your church, job or in your family. There is good news. God sees you. God knows who you are and he can see the longing of your heart to be seen and known.He wants you to know that you are not invisible to him. He wants you to know that he has always seen you and will always see you. He isn’t looking at you as one would look at an outsider. He takes special interest in you and your concerns.He has said in his Word that no creature is hidden from his sight. There is no place you can go that he won’t be with you. This is both wonderful news and terrifying news. One day we have to give him an account for everything we do here on earth, and he is watching you.Everything is naked and open to him; that includes your heart, thoughts and emotions as you feel the burden of being left out and isolated. God your Father has chosen this time to observe you. Even if you haven’t voice how you feel, God knows and he cares. So the next time you feel invisible, pray and thank God for watching over you.Let us pray.✝️ Heavenly Father,Thank You for never growing weary or getting tired. Thank You for watching over me each and every day. Help me to remember that You are always there whenever I feel invisible. I’m so grateful that I don’t have to look to man for validation; all I need is given to me by You. You have promised in Your Word that You will never leave or forsake me, and I will hold You at Your Word. I turn my heart to You and chose to trust in Your Word and Your steadfast protection and provision. Help me to find comfort in the fact that no creature is hidden from You, but that I am naked and open before You as You allow the Holy Spirit to lead me in sanctification. Knowing I am seen by God causes me to release fear and to simply trust You will be there. During this time of uncertainty, help me to see others and let them know that I see them. Thank You, Lord. I trust and love You Lord.In Jesus’ Name,AMEN 🙏 But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart." (1 Samuel 16:7)But I, the LORD, search all hearts and examine secret motives. I give all people their due rewards, according to what their actions deserve." (Jeremiah 17:10)"For God watches how people live; he sees everything they do.(Job 34:21)The LORD is watching everywhere, keeping his eye on both the evil and the good.(Proverbs 15:3)God will judge us for everything we do, including every secret thing, whether good or bad. (Ecclesiastes 12:14)For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil. (2 Corinthians 5:10)I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that am the one who searches out the thoughts and intentions of every person. And I will give to each of you whatever you deserve. (Revelation 2:23)For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living. Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God; for it is written, "As live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God." So then each of us will give an account of himself to God. (Romans 14:9-12)Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)From heaven the LORD looks down and sees all mankind; from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth — he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do. (Psalm 33:13-15)Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.(Galatians 1:10)Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.(Psalm 37:4)And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor-Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), to be with you forever — the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive [and take to its heart] because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He (the Holy Spirit) remains with you continually and will be in you.(John 14:15-17)Even if my father and mother abandon me, the LORD will hold me close.(Psalm 27:10)(pic verse)The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.Artist 👨‍🎨 I Am With You Always - David Delfeld
