Excerpt:
Friends, if you’ve ever felt forgotten, overlooked, left out or on the fringe, your tears have not gone unnoticed. The Lord sees you, too! Our heavenly Father hears our cries. Scripture declares He is “… close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18, NIV).
We can confidently cling to this promise. Why? Because our Lord has been on a mission to save us since the very beginning — to adopt us into His family as His children (John 1:12) who are chosen, (1 Peter 2:9) known (Psalm 139:16) and loved. (Romans 5:8)

Heavenly Father, thank You for being the God who sees me. The God who loves me and accepts me even when it feels as though others don’t. Empower me to face this day confidently, knowing I belong to You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
