When He’s Always on His Phone & You’re Always Waiting

I sat beside him.

He was right next to me.

But somehow, I felt miles away.

Phones have brought the world closer…

But sometimes, they’ve pushed two hearts apart.

Every evening, I wait —

Not for a gift or a big surprise.

Just a few words, a smile, a little conversation.

But he’s there - head down, screen up, fingers scrolling.

And I wonder…

“When was the last time we laughed together?”

“When did we really talk - not about bills or school or milk - but really talk?”

I know he’s tired.

I know he’s stressed.

But… so am I.

And yet, here I am - still cooking, still cleaning, still caring,

Still waiting for him to look at me… not just glance.

One day, I whispered in my heart,

“Jesus, do You see me?”

And I felt Him say:

“Yes, my daughter. I see the love you give even when it’s not returned. I see the tears behind your silence. You are not alone.”

📖 Bible Verse:

“You keep track of all my sorrows.
You have collected all my tears in Your bottle.
You have recorded each one in Your book.”

— Psalm 56:8 

A Short Prayer for You:

Dear Lord,

I feel invisible sometimes.

I give, I serve, I stay… and yet I feel unseen.

But I know You see me.

Hold my heart gently. Remind me of my worth.

Strengthen me to love without bitterness.

And soften his heart too, Lord — so we find each other again.

Amen. 

🌙 He’s sitting next to me… but I feel alone.📱 The phone gets more of his attention than I do.

💬 If you’ve ever felt this, you’re not alone.

God sees your pain even when no one else does. Talk to Him. He’s always ready to listen. Keep your heart soft. Keep praying. And take small steps to express your feelings honestly and kindly.

You matter. Your emotions are valid. And you deserve love that is present, not distracted.

With love,

Anisha.
