That the media would report facts without bias, No. 1

***That those in the media would report facts without any bias.

2 Thess 2:30
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,
You are Truth and You cannot lie. Thank You that You are for us. Your Word is Truth. Jesus Christ, You are the Way, the Truth and the Life.

John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Thank You that You do not swiftly cast us away. Thank You that You beckon us to come to You and ask for help in time of need. Father, our nation is in dire need of Your help. Hear our prayers.

Father, we have become a nation that loves sensation. Forgive us. Our media has brought about a fixation on our senses. We have been drawn in and have not prayed to stop it, or even attempted to reel in the barrage of bias messaging through advertising. It is everywhere. Even our newscasts feed our desire for entertainment—to indulge ourselves through our senses. We ignore the facts and fixate on our desire to be entertained. Forgive us.

Proverbs 6:16-19
These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

So much of the media in our nation has gone off course. Forgive us for not praying. Father, raise up honest journalism that reports without bias. Raise up leaders in the media communities that desire the proliferation of truth, integrity and dignity. Give these leaders position and the clout to set the bar high as a standard for reporting.

Father, we have given up Truth for opinion and opinion is reported as truth. Forgive us for the times when sensationalism gave way to unbias reporting. Forgive us when the retraction of a lie was intentionally hidden. We have stolen from people by using the media to promote self-interest. Father, how shall we respond to bias reporting? Raise up watch-dog groups that would promote truth.

In this nation, may we be lovers of truth. Show us our part to cleanse ourselves from our propensity to indulge in sensationalism. Raise up an army that would promote honest journalism and give us tools and means to thwart the dishonest media. Turn the hearts of those who have promoted their own agendas. Some reporters have published lies - to promote their careers. Draw them to repentance. Guide their hearts to love truth and to report what is decent and in good order.

Many leaders in companies, in the media industry promote their personal agendas, rather than truth. They have encouraged those who work for them to go beyond the facts. They have promoted the agendas of politicians, big business, and knowingly supported dishonest publications. Call them to love truth. Give them a heart to repent.

Raise up a demand for the facts from the media in the USA. Draw us to love truth, to speak up and to defend honest reporting and to do our part when the media misleads and misguides. Show us our part to bring our nation back to honoring You and strengthen us for the journey.

In Jesus’ Name.
