Ah yes, nothing quite captures the spirit of selfless humility like blasting your “private” prayers across your social media feed. In an era where authenticity is currency, some folks just can’t help but convert every quiet act into a loud spectacle — just to make sure you know they don’t need you to know. It’s almost poetic: “I’m doing this for you… quietly… just as soon as I can post about it.” If there’s a patron saint of performative piety, this would be their beatification ceremony — complete with hashtags, filters, and an obligatory 🙏 emoji.

The whole point of that post is supposed to convey humble, quiet devotion: “My love language is praying for you without you knowing.”
But then… he broadcasts it publicly on social media for attention, ensuring everyone does know.

It’s like yelling from a rooftop: “I’m so humble and private that I pray for you quietly—LOOK AT ME DOING IT!”

A perfect example of performative virtue signaling — it undermines the entire point of the message and screams: “See how good I am!” while pretending not to need acknowledgment.

So next time you see a post that screams “I pray for you in secret… but here’s a selfie just so you know,” take a moment to appreciate the irony. It’s not about prayer; it’s about performance. After all, why actually be humble when you can just look humble on Facebook? In this strange theater of virtue, applause comes in the form of likes, hearts, and the occasional “Amen 🙌” — exactly the kind of validation a truly private prayer never asked for.
