Reflection

“A lie goes half-way around the world before the truth can get its pants on.” –Winston Churchill

Prayer

God of truth,

Today’s forms of media make it so easy to spread gossip and slander in ways that tear down rather than build up a trusting community. We who are called to live in your truth should know better, and yet sometimes we are just as susceptible to believing rumors and hearsay, without taking time to vet the information we hear and share. Heal us of such tendencies, which threaten our value of integrity. Lead us instead to build a culture that champions truth-telling and is slow to draw conclusions based on little or misleading information. Amen.

Call to Action

How am I helping to build a culture of truth-telling, integrity, and honesty in my family, my job, and my community?
