    So Hagar gave this name to the LORD who had spoken to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “Here I have seen the One who sees me!”

Questions people ask

Does God really care about me personally?

Yes. Hagar, a servant everyone else overlooked, called Him “the God who sees me” (Genesis 16:13). Psalm 56:8 says He keeps track of your tears, and 1 Peter 5:7 says He cares for you.

What should I do when I feel like no one cares?

Tell God, the way David did in Psalm 142. Then reach out to one person, even if it's hard; often people care more than we can see. A church small group can help too.
