He see our Heart

Production of Echoes of the Psalms A Special Song for Sonja — “I Saw You” ❤️ Today, I want to share something very special with our Prayer Sanctuary family. As some of you know, Sonja reached 100 points in our community and earned a personalized worship song. ❤️ After Sonja shared part of her life story with me, one verse kept coming back to my heart: “Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.” — John 1:48 (KJV) Those three words, “I saw you,” became the heart of her song. It's a reminder that God sees us through every season of our lives. Through the pain we don't always talk about, the tears nobody sees, the moments when we feel lost, and even the quiet beginnings of healing and hope. Sonja's story inspired this song, but I believe its message is something many of us need to hear. God saw you then. He sees you now. And you've never been forgotten. ❤️ Sonja, thank you for trusting me with your story. It was a privilege to turn a small part of your journey into music. I hope this song brings you comfort, and I hope it touches the hearts of others here too. 🙏 🎧 Here's Sonja's song. I hope you'll take a few minutes to listen.

If someone asked you, “Tell me about yourself,” what would you say? Not your job. Not your relationship status. Not what you have achieved. You. What words would you use? Would you describe yourself as strong, difficult, caring, insecure, independent, successful, unlucky, confident, shy, broken, capable, or something else? Now ask yourself something a little deeper: Where did that story come from? Who told you these things about yourself? And which parts of your story have you never stopped to question? Maybe there are things you believe about yourself simply because you have believed them for so long. So, if you had to be completely honest: What is the story you tell yourself about you?

Be Still. Be Thankful. Take a moment to pause. Put down what is occupying your mind. You don't have to solve everything right now. You don't have to have all the answers. Just be still. “𝗕𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗮𝗺 𝗚𝗼𝗱.”— 𝗣𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗺 𝟰𝟲:𝟭𝟬 𝗔 𝗣𝗥𝗔𝗬𝗘𝗥 𝗢𝗙 𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗦 & 𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗧𝗨𝗗𝗘 Lord, I pause. For a moment, I put aside the busyness, the worries, the questions and everything I am trying to carry. Help me to be still in Your presence. Thank You for this moment. Thank You for life. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝘆.🙏 Thank You for the things I sometimes overlook — the breath in my lungs, the people around me, the opportunities I have been given and the strength that has carried me this far. Even when I don't understand everything, help me to trust You. Quiet my heart when my thoughts are restless. Remind me that I do not have to carry tomorrow today. Help me to recognise Your presence in the ordinary moments of my life. Today, I choose to pause. I choose to be grateful. I choose to trust You. Amen.🤲 𝗣𝗔𝗨𝗦𝗘 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗔 𝗠𝗢𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 Before you continue with your day, ask yourself: What is one thing I can genuinely thank God for today?

Lord, when we feel distant from one another, help us not to become strangers while living side by side. Teach us to listen before we defend, to speak with love instead of anger, and to remember the person behind the hurt. Where there has been silence, bring honest conversation. Where there has been hurt, bring healing. Where affection has faded, help us find our way back to tenderness and connection. Help us to see each other again — not only for what has gone wrong, but for the person we once chose to love. Give us humility to take the first step, courage to be vulnerable, and wisdom to know how to rebuild what has been lost. Lord, help us find our way back to each other. Amen.
