Genesis 16:13

She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: "You are the God who sees me," for she said, "I have now seen the One who sees me."

Haggar is put in an impossible situation. She is told to do something and then hated for it. She hates her boss, who mistreats her. She runs away then God tells her to go back and submit. But God speaks to her and acknowledges her presence, which is probably far more than had happened to her before.

Lord, thank you for seeing us and knowing us. Thank you for showing yourself to us. Amen.
