El-Roi: He Sees Me?

Amazing soul, here’s a letter to you about El-Roi, the God who sees me. I hope you enjoy it and are blessed by it.💕

As I stared out the bus window, my mind was clouded with thoughts of how to handle my financial need. I needed some money urgently and considered borrowing from a friend.

As I write this, I’m reflecting.

“Why didn’t I just ask Abba directly? Like I did last year when I asked for a specific sum of money to travel to Abuja.

Why can’t I just ask directly, like when I prayed for a specific price for an affordable apartment and got exactly what I asked for? I didn’t ask this time, but God still knew what I needed at that moment.”

God comes through in ways only He can.

While still lost in these thoughts, my phone rang. It was my uncle. His call surprised me because we had only spoken earlier in the year. Why could he be calling now? To my amazement, he said he was nearby and wanted to say hi. What were the odds? I was just two minutes away from his location.

I quickly agreed and got off at the next stop. We met, talked for a while, and just before we said goodbye, he handed me the exact amount of money I needed. The exact amount. “abi na uncle vibes?”

This was no coincidence! I stood there in awe.

How had I, of all days, decided to take this bus route instead of heading straight home after school? How had my uncle called at the perfect moment when I was so close to him?

This was God’s hand, orchestrating every detail with precision!

Later that day, I sent my uncle a text to thank him, explaining how much his gesture meant to me.

God always doing His THING!

And guess what he said? In his words: “I knew something was fishy when I remembered you.”

God sees me.

On another occasion, I was deeply overwhelmed a few days ago, and I had to text all of my friends and sister to say a word of prayer for me before they went to sleep that night. As I couldn't do that all by myself. They all did, of course. I love them with all of my heart.🥰

Haew! I cried.

This isn’t everything, but to keep it brief, their prayers worked wonders!

The following day, I received a simple answer from God to the root of the overwhelm, through a short sermon clip on Instagram. What Joy!

The day after, He gave me clarity about another issue that had been weighing me down. In that moment, the overwhelming burden lifted, replaced by the peace that only He could give—peace that surpasses my understanding. And I felt like I could breathe again.

You are breathing again.

God sees me.

God sees you.

In the busyness and chaos of life, in the small and overwhelming moments, He knows what I need—sometimes before I even know it myself.

He orchestrates events, sends people, and speaks in whispers to remind me: I am seen. I am loved. I am known.

And so are you.

You're thoroughly loved.

You're thoroughly seen.

You're thoroughly known.

All by Abba.

All my love 💕,

Oluwaseyi.
