My wife & son died, in my opinion, f/medication given them in the hospital in December 2021. To make matters worse, the local paper wrote a story based on the obituary & public Facebook posts of others against my wishes to push their political narrative. The last 6 months & everything that has happened since their death has been crushing me like a machine press. This sermon has helped me weather the storms & continue to hold on for dear life. I listen to it daily to encourage me & continue to help me hold on. Not in a ritualistic manner, but like a sailor holding onto the ship's wreckage for dear life in the midst of the storm. Thank you Lord, thank you Louie & James River Church. God bless those who need their miracle & strength to stand

[@carrierozema863]

Twenty minutes before I watched this sermon I was crying and asking God if He could see me. Thank you so much for your faithfulness Pastor. Feeling much better!

[@butterfly.2020]

Yes, he sees you and he always will ✨🙏🏾

[@loribraim4179]

I love God, His timing is perfect!

[@the.seagull.35]

Its been four months since you wrote this, and God has not left your side even for one day. He is there and He sees you still. Trust in his wisdom... He will surely do you good. 🙌

[@wanjirunganga-gichuhi876]

When you feel like life is crushing you, remember: (1) God sees you. Amen. (2) God knows everything and more about your situation. Remember the Samaritan woman at the well ? (3)God is working on and in your situation right now. (4)God is greater than what you are going through and your problem. 5)God will use your present situation in your future story for His glory.

[@lesbiacandelaria9354]

I don’t know how long this message has been posted, but today, 4/11/24, God spoke to me through this message. I needed to make sure that God had been seeing me and the season I’m living right now, and He confirmed once again that I’m not in the middle of nowhere; that He sees my tears, my trials, my desires to be where I need to be. Thank you Jesus, for giving me a reminder that you still see me and my life will bear fruit in others. I worship you, Jesus.

[@bonitiacleary40]

I SO needed this encouragement about God is working even if we can't see it. And in this difficult season with more trials and disappointments I can bare on some days to be reminded He sees me, He cares and is at work on my behalf for the good always.

[@alanerichardson9444]

Thank you for this Word! I’ve shared the link on my Facebook page.

[@kimberlyberndt280]

I'm listening in New Jersey. I needed this reminder. God has brought me through so much in my life. Jesus had resurrected me in my early twenties. He was so spiritually peaceful I did not want to leave, but He said my child why do you seek love when it walks with you all the days of your life? You are loved by God and your life is not finished yet. So by the Glory of God I share this with you as I know not why He saved me. But know this He is with us always so do not forsaken Him in you time of sorrow or struggle because He will be there to pick up the pieces.

[@JamesRiverChurch]

So good!

[@amandacarmichael9026]

amazing message

[@colleenstryken1510]

This is a word for me and my family!! Thank-you for sharing🙏😭❤️🙌🏻

[@melissamoss9757]

A year later on November 28, 2023, this word was for me! There are no coincidences with God! We have been going through trials in our family & I questioned if God was hearing my prayers. I listened to this message 2 nights ago & this morning the title of one of the devotions I read was "When you wonder if God hears your prayers" & it referenced the same scripture about Hagar & pointed out the name she gave God, El Roi & reminded me again that God sees me, hears me & is working through my prayers in the situation we are dealing with. We need to find forgiveness for someone we loved dearly who has hurt us very much & my greatest prayer is that God will bring him to the point where He sees only God & is first above all else in his life! Thank You God! Thank you Louie for being obedient to God!

[@JamesRiverChurch]

Praise God!

[@menukakarki8223]

[@greeneyes181971]

I ran into a dvd series of Louie Giglio's call "History at a thrift store a week ago and started to watch it. I was so interested in his speech I started to search him on KZbin. I ran into this sermon and Wow! I started to cry. It was like god was trying to find a way to lead me to hear this to let me know I'm not forgotten and he's always been with me and already knows all about me and that he is always working in my life. Thank you Louie for your message and you are helping god touch lives with your words of faith. God bless you and your family.

So many tears falling from this message! I felt forgotten this year because my chronic disease has gotten so much worse.. it feels like it is all for nothing... so many years of intense suffering now and so many years of my life lost to unbearable pain... Lord I trust that YOU see me and will not pass me over... I trust that one day YOU will give me a story of hope to shout out to the world... I can't see anything but darkness and death right now... but I pray and trust in Jesus' name that YOU will do a mighty work in my life and in the lives of all those who listen to this message and need saving from this crushing time of life!!!!! Amen.
