“Your Father who sees in secret will reward you.” (Matthew 6:6) **Meditation** God’s work in us often happens beyond public view. In silence and simplicity, faith deepens. Today is an invitation to pray without performance, to rest in God’s attentive presence. Lent teaches us that what shapes us most is what happens unseen. Trust that God notices every quiet act of love, every whispered prayer, and meets you there with grace.
