God sees

The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. ~ 2 Chronicles 16:9a (NLT)

(Christ says,) I know what you do, how you work hard and never give up. ~ Revelation 2:2a (NCV)
Lord, you keep watching us. Others don't see how I act with integrity when no one is around. Others don't fully appreciate how hard I work. They never seem to understand how dedicated I am. But you see and understand. And you are the only one who really matters when it comes to these things. Help me to be encouraged by the knowledge that you recognize what I'm doing. I'm doing it all for you. So, I can keep on task even when others don't notice or care. Glory to you, Lord! Amen.
