A Prayer for the Headlines for Monday, May 20th

Good Morning, God,

Lord, in your word, a Ruler asked rhetorically, "What is truth," when confronted with your Son, Jesus Christ and Jesus's ministry. Pilate was confused. He was confused between the secular and the sacred, between his government and a perceived threat to it, between wanting to be fair and wanting to please, between heeding his wife's warning not to have anything to do with Jesus and heeding the crowds call to crucify Jesus.

Lord God, we face the "truth" question every day. Who do we heed? To which voices to we listen? What goes into our decision-making? Who comes out ahead and gets crucified, at least figuratively?

Heavenly Father, may we be endowed with the wisdom of Solomon as we make all our decisions-and may we not rest until all truth is known in each and every situation.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
