“…Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things.” (Philippians 4:8)
How many of you remember when the local and the world news were on for an hour each and the National Anthem played at midnight then the long beep with a countdown to go off the air until 6:00 the next morning? Then came the 24/7/365 news loop and everything else followed. And anxiety, fear and stress levels have risen ever since. Along with mental health issues, depression and suicides. According to Proverbs 18:21 reminds us that our words are powerful and bring life or death to the receiver. The constant barrage of hearing negative and destructive things is making us sick and even killing us.
Add to that the TV programming of murder, torture, adultery, cheating in every way, all sorts of perversion and the list goes on and on. And then we sit and wonder why we’re falling apart at the seams and this world is spinning out of control. But the good news is the news and media can actually be used for good and we’re beginning to see it in so many ways. We need to continue to pray for another awakening and revival as we are thanking the Lord for all the doors that are opening and see the changes they are making.
Today The National Prayer Team asks that we pray in agreement for:
The decision makers within the media to realize they can make a profit by producing uplifting projects (Proverbs 8:10-11)
Christians in media to find favor and be filled with creative ideas that bring kingdom principles and life-giving messages to the public (Proverbs 2:1-15)
