Lord, have mercy.
Our system of national media needs Your healing desperately. America’s airwaves are full of political extremists spewing hatred. Lies are presented as truth. Truths are presented with vicious arrogance.
How are we to know what to believe?
Father, the internet and television are full of violence and immorality. It’s so difficult to live holy lives with so many temptations surrounding us.
Will You please help us? Will You send us options in news and entertainment that are honest, helpful, edifying, humble, and holy? Will You guard our eyes, and our ears, and our minds?
Will You give us discernment to know lies when we hear them? Will You give us humility when we are tempted to follow arrogant speech? Will You help us be shrewd, and yet innocent? Will you help us to be so repulsed by wickedness, that we turn our eyes from it?
Will You send a revival into the media? Will You break the strongholds of blindness and hardness there? Will You clean and heal this deeply-infected part of our land?
(Psalm 101:3)
