In Genesis 16, a woman named Hagar finds herself alone and on the run. She has been used, dismissed, and pushed to the side.
God meets her in this place, speaks to her, and reassures her that He has heard her prayers. This is Hagar’s response: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.” Genesis 16:13.
