Does God Hear Me?

SummaryHave you ever knelt by your bed, poured out the most vulnerable parts of your soul, and wondered if your prayers were even making it past the ceiling? When you are carrying a heavy burden, it is easy to ask, "Does God hear me?" If you are tired of feeling invisible and fear that Heaven is just as indifferent to your pain as the world has been, do not despair. You are exactly where you need to be.In this episode of the Arise, Women of God podcast, host Tamara K. Anderson and licensed clinical social worker Wendi Christensen tackle the painful feeling of being spiritually unseen. We dive into the story of Blind Bartimaeus screaming against a roaring crowd, proving that God’s ear is a precision instrument tuned to the exact pitch of a broken heart. We also explore the "rejection mirror"—how past trauma, neglect, and human letdowns can distort our view of God. Wendi shares brilliant therapeutic advice on how to dismantle this mirror by looking at the kindest person you know and magnifying their love a million times over. Discover the story of Hagar in the wilderness and the beautiful name El Roi (the God who sees me). Tune in to separate human flaws from the divine character of your Heavenly Father, and move from feeling forgotten to knowing you are heard!Episode TakeawaysGod's Precision Ear: Like Jesus stopping for Blind Bartimaeus amidst a chaotic, aggressive crowd, God's ear is tuned specifically to your frequency. He always picks up on the pitch of a broken heart, no matter how loud the world gets.The Rejection Mirror: We often project past trauma, neglect, or human rejection (especially from flawed parental figures) onto God. We must actively separate human flaws from God's perfect, attentive nature.The Magnification Strategy: To rebuild your spiritual attachment to God, picture the kindest, most respectful person you know (even a character from a story or movie). Magnify their goodness a million times over—that is the true scale of your Heavenly Father's heart toward you.El Roi (The God Who Sees Me): Like Hagar fleeing to the wilderness, you are never truly alone. God doesn't just hear your prayer; He sees your exact coordinates in the desert.ResourcesReady to heal old spiritual wounds and connect to the true character of Heavenly Father?
