A Kiss from Rose | The Invisible One

There are times when a person feels utterly invisible—within their home, in their marriage, among friends, family, church, or even the organizations they serve. It’s a deep, isolating pain to be present physically, yet emotionally overlooked. These feelings of invisibility often linger, with questions of whether it’s all in the mind, or if the problem is more profound. The reality is that the individual is only seen when there’s a need, and once that need is satisfied, they fade back into the background.

Those around them seem disconnected from their true essence—unable to sense their happiness, joy, pain, passion, or loneliness. They exist in the space, fulfilling roles and solving problems, but when it comes to being appreciated or valued for who they are, they remain unseen. There’s a longing for recognition, a desire for someone to notice beyond the surface, beyond just what they can provide.

Still, they hold onto hope, never fully giving up on being truly acknowledged by others. There is comfort in knowing that God always sees what others overlook. He sees their value, their heartache, and their joy. He recognizes the depth of their emotions, their struggles, and their victories, even when no one else does. In God’s presence, they are never invisible. He sees their worth and understands their pain. And there is a trust that God will surround them with people who will recognize, celebrate, and cherish them for who they are, not just for what they can offer.

Prayer

Heavenly Father,

There are times when Your children feel unseen, overlooked, and forgotten by those around them. In these moments of loneliness and isolation, we turn to You, knowing that You are the God who sees. You are aware of every joy, every pain, every struggle, and every victory that goes unnoticed by others.

Lord, we ask that You provide comfort to those who feel invisible. Remind them that they are never hidden from Your sight. You see their true worth, their heart’s desires, and the emotions that they carry in silence. Help them to rest in the knowledge that they are fully known by You, and that You understand their deepest needs.

We also ask, Lord, that You surround them with people who will recognize their value, who will see beyond what they do and appreciate who they are. May You bring into their lives individuals who will celebrate their presence, their gifts, and their unique spirit.

Thank You, Lord, for being the one who always sees. Thank You for Your constant love, and for providing a space where no one is ever invisible. May Your peace and comfort fill the hearts of those who feel unseen, and may they find joy in knowing that You cherish and love them endlessly.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

“Tapping into others who are there for you should be a goal. How are we not in tuned to those who are ever present? Life isn’t always about you and what you are going through. Do you really know the struggles of those around you? Tap in to the invisible one around you.” -Alston Shropshire
