                  I waited patiently for the Lord; He turned to me and heard my cry - Psalm 40:1.

                God sees us and hears us as wait patiently for Him. But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love - Psalm 33:18. Therefore I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; My God will hear me - Micah 7:7. He saw the affliction of Israelites, heard their cry and delivered them. And the Lord said: “I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows. So I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians - Exodus 3:7, 8.

                God saw the affliction of Hagar in the wilderness and heard her cry. And the Angel of the Lord said to her: Behold, you are with child, And you shall bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, Because the Lord has heard your affliction - Genesis 16:11. Hagar named the Lord as El-Roi, the one who sees. Then she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, You-Are-the-God-Who-Sees; for she said, “Have I also here seen Him who sees me?” - Genesis 16:13. Then the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said to her, “What ails you, Hagar?  Fear not, for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is. - Genesis 21:17.

               God sees us and hears us. Let us be still and listen to what God has in store for us. He is the Lord who sees all our needs, The Lord looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men - Psalm 33:13. For His eyes are on the ways of man, And He sees all his steps- Job 34:21. I love the Lord, because He has heard My voice and my supplications - Psalm 116:1. He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He also will hear their cry and save them - Psalm 145:19.
