If you feel like God isn’t watching—that in the middle of your pain or even your tears at night, heaven is quiet—Know that that is not the truth.
There are many people today suffering in silence with depression, abuse, hopelessness, and a lot of injustice—Maybe that person is you. If you’re reading this and ever thought, “God doesn’t see me,” “Why would He let me suffer like this?” Or, maybe you’ve whispered, “Where are You, God?” He sees the tears no one else does. Take a look at this Scripture:
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.” (Exodus 3:7)
You’re not alone. Not only do countless people feel this way today, but even God’s own people once cried out the same way under injustice in Egypt.
He has indeed seen the suffering of His people. Their cries weren’t ignored, and their pain wasn’t invisible to Him. Their oppression wasn’t overlooked. God was deeply aware when the people took action before Him, and He answered them.
He hears the silent prayers you’re not even sure are worth praying. He’s concerned, but here’s something vital: faith must be manifested.
God didn’t just send Moses to Egypt randomly. He responded to people crying out, ready for a change, willing to believe that Justice was possible.
Are you ready for a change, too? Are you willing to believe, even if just a little, that God has more for your life?
Then take a step. Take action. Faith without action is just an idea. But faith with action is power.
Don’t wait for Justice to come to you. Go to where you can encounter the One who brings Justice.
Take that step of faith and visit The Universal Church near you. There, you will find people who have overcome deep pain, just like you’re facing. You’ll hear testimonies that will lift your faith. You’ll be guided toward the God of Justice.
May the God of the Bible bless you!
