Day 23 – The Hidden Manna
Scripture: Revelation 2:17
“To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna...”
In seasons of loss, more is taken from you than the one you love. Familiar routines, roles, relationships, even your sense of self are lost too. But hidden beneath the surface of that emptiness, God offers something quiet and sustaining: hidden manna.
Just as God fed the Israelites with mysterious manna in the wilderness, He feeds us in our wilderness, too. Not always with answers or resolutions, but with grace—unseen, unearned, yet exactly enough. This hidden manna might come as an unexpected moment of peace, a verse that lands at just the right time, a deep knowing that you are still held.
Revelation also speaks of a “white stone” with a new name. The white stone was a symbol of innocence in a trial. God gives you this symbol with a new name—a sacred symbol of who you’re becoming in the wake of grief. God sees your hidden pain and proclaims your release with a new name for a new era of your life.
You are being cared for in ways the world cannot see. Trust the hidden work. You are not empty. You are being sustained.
Practice for Today
Ask God to show you your “hidden manna” today. Be open. Write it down when it appears—however small.
Journaling Prompt
What has sustained me unexpectedly in this season? How did it find me?
Closing Blessing
Feel heaven’s mercy rise to meet your need.
Watch for the hidden blessings that are coming your way.
Know that even in the wilderness of your grief,
grace always show up at the right time.
Even when nothing seems enough, hidden manna is near.
You will be fed.
You will be sustained.
Pray as You Go
Inhale: Give me what I need…
Exhale: …even if I don’t see it yet.
