00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:08.960
<v SPEAKER_00>Have you ever felt sucked into a spiral of anxiety or worry?

00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:20.239
<v SPEAKER_00>A few minutes passed, and you don't even realize the catastrophizing you were doing for who knows how long, trying to predict and then control the future.

00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:24.559
<v SPEAKER_00>Anxiety often makes us feel alone or unseen.

00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:33.039
<v SPEAKER_00>But God sees every thought, every fear, every detail, and he stays closed.

00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:41.200
<v SPEAKER_00>David, who said in earnest, you have searched me, O Lord, and you know me.

00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:44.799
<v SPEAKER_00>You are familiar with all my ways.

00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:55.439
<v SPEAKER_00>Let's take 30 seconds and thank God that He sees you fully and compassionately, nothing hidden, nothing ignored.

00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:33.519
<v SPEAKER_00>Ask Him to make His nearness tangible to you today.

00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:43.120
<v SPEAKER_00>Imagine God sitting beside you, placing His hand on your shoulder, whispering, I see you.

00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:49.039
<v SPEAKER_00>Can you think of someone who might feel unseen or isolated in your community?

00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:52.479
<v SPEAKER_00>Maybe a specific person comes to mind.

00:02:53.360 --> 00:03:00.159
<v SPEAKER_00>If not, pray for someone in your church community you might silently feel this way.

00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:04.080
<v SPEAKER_00>Ask God to reveal his nearness to them.

00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:41.039
<v SPEAKER_00>We rest in your nearness today.

00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:42.000
<v SPEAKER_00>Amen.
