That those in the media would resist manipulation, pressure, and the fear of man. No. 1

*** That those in the media wold resist manipulation, pressure, and the fear of man.

Proverbs 29:23-25
23 A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit. 24 Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not. 25 The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,
You have made us social and we seek community. Thank You. Thank You that You have provided for us to have community with You through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Thank You, that You are always available for every need and concern.

You are interested in every detail and You receive us when we come to You. Thank You that we don't need any technology to find and converse with You. Thank You that You already know our every thought and action.

You have created us with social needs and You have given us community with others, and connectivity through language that is mass produced through our media. Information is available to us every moment of each day. We know what is passed on to us. Thank You for the technology that brings You closer to us.

Thank You for the godly podcasts, websites, and publishing and distribution companies that proliferate Your Word throughout the world. Thank You for the availability of the Good News, Truth, Jesus Christ! Protect them. Protect each person that works in these places. Protect their families and their homes and grant them good health and faith that You will provide for their daily needs. Protect their hearts from fear of the enemy and may they stand firm in their faith.

There is so much pressure here in the US to drive You out of the public media. Much of our media attempts to manipulate every person in this nation and turn them against You. Father, in the election, we even have to have "fact checkers" because so many assertions are made that are distorted and miss-represented.

Change hearts in this country so that we have an insatiable appetite for Truth. Open our minds and hearts to discern by Your Spirit what and who to believe. And then, gracious Lord, gift us with persuasive language to direct others to Truth. Cause lies to fail and to fall.

Those who are in the media are under intense pressure to support the agendas of powerful people. Resisting the pressure could mean their lives. They are tempted on every front to succumb to the pressure. Cause the manipulation to be easily recognized and shunned. Give these professionals (at every level) a staunch resistance to the hidden agendas. They need Your wisdom to know how to respond to those that seek to manipulate them. Give each person a cunning response—so remarkable that they know that You are equipping them in every situation.

Cause the lies to fall to the ground and be impotent. Open eyes across this nation to see the folly of those who wield tremendous power and use it for evil. Pull them to the ground, destroy the lies, humble them, and may they know that You are the LORD.

Father, so much of what we do is motivated by fear. Secure us in Your Word and may the only fear within us be a fear of You. May we be courageous with a presence of mind to respond in ways that turn others towards you and may Christ be served with excellence.

Help us, that we may stand strong and that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.

In Jesus’ Name.
