Prayers Through The Signal
Before, we waited for the radio to speak, for the TV to flicker, for the newspaper to arrive the next morning. News felt far away — like a voice calling from another town.
Now, when calamities come, the world speaks all at once. On Facebook, families post photos and prayers. On X, updates move like lightning — rescue hotlines, weather maps, names of the missing. On TikTok, we see real faces, trembling hands, and people helping each other.
Social workers find those in need faster, and the government listens closer. Every share becomes a lifeline, every message a way home.
Social media turned distance into closeness — fear into hope. It’s like a quiet hymn in the middle of the storm, glowing through the dark, telling us we’re not alone.
