Today, I couldn’t help but feel a heavy burden on my heart as I thought about the media and the way truth is often handled. It seems that in so many places, the truth is overlooked, twisted, or even ignored in favor of personal gain or agendas. It’s a reminder that, as Christians, we are called to stand for truth—God’s truth—and be shining lights in a world that sometimes feels so full of confusion and deception.
I’ve been reflecting on how important it is to seek out the truth and speak it in love, even when it's hard. It saddens me to think that certain places, like CNN, may not have the kind of integrity and honesty that aligns with Christian values. We are called to be truth-bearers, as Jesus is the ultimate truth (John 14:6). When I see situations where truth seems lost, I feel a tug in my heart to pray for those who are caught up in misinformation and deception.
As believers, we have the responsibility to be discerning, to seek truth in everything, and to always speak with honesty, kindness, and integrity. I pray that more Christians in the world will have the courage to stand firm in God's truth, whether in the workplace or in the public eye, and that God’s light will shine through us in all we do.

Father, help me to always seek Your truth and share it with others. In a world that often feels clouded by lies, may I be a vessel of Your light. Give me wisdom and compassion as I navigate the challenges around me, and may I always reflect Your love and honesty.
One thing I’ve come to realize is that as much as the world around us can feel like it’s drifting away from truth, I have a responsibility to stand firm, to be different, and to be a voice for integrity. The world may offer many versions of truth, but as Christians, we know that Jesus is the only true way (John 14:6). When we encounter situations where truth is bent or distorted, we can’t just remain silent. We need to speak up in love, always remembering that speaking truth without love isn't effective—it’s through the love of Christ that our words can make an impact.
It makes me wonder, though, how often have I been too passive, or too focused on my own life to stand up for what’s right when I see injustice or dishonesty? Lord, help me to be bolder, help me to be loving, and help me to reflect Your light in those moments.
I pray that You would guide me in how to engage with the world and its issues. Please give me the wisdom to discern when to speak and when to listen, and to always remember that our true mission is to share the hope of Christ, not just in word but in how we live out the truth.
Father, help me be like the “salt and light” You’ve called me to be (Matthew 5:13-16). Let me shine Your truth and love into every corner of my life, whether I’m at work, at home, or in the community. May my actions and words always point to You. Help me not to be discouraged when I see falsehoods prevailing, but instead to be motivated to speak Your truth and live it out in a way that can impact others.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
