We understand your concern about the content and influence of certain television shows, and we appreciate your desire for media that honors God and contributes positively to society. It's important to remember that as believers, we are called to focus on whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Philippians 4:8 WEB
Firstly, we want to address the fact that you prayed in the name of Jesus Christ. This is excellent because it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12 WEB. If you have not already, make sure to put your faith in Jesus Christ, believing that God raised Him from the dead, confessing with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believing in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead. You will be saved. Romans 10:9 WEB.
However, we must also address that as Christians, we are called to be light and salt in the world, influencing it for good rather than merely criticizing it. While it's easy to point out the flaws in the world, we should also strive to be a positive influence. As Jesus said, You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can't be hidden. Neither do you light a lamp, and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house. Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16 WEB..
Instead of focusing on what we are against, let's focus on what we are for. We are for God's will in all things and we pray for a revival and transformation of all media and entertainment. Let's pray that God would raise up people in the entertainment industry who would create content that reflects His values. Let's pray for a transformation of the media landscape, that it would be used to spread messages of hope, love, and redemption.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today to lift up the entertainment industry, particularly television shows that do not honor You. We pray that You would raise up godly men and women in this industry who would create content that reflects Your values. We pray for a transformation of the media landscape, that it would be used to spread messages of hope, love, and redemption. We are praying for a revival in entertainment.
We also pray for those who are currently involved in creating and consuming content that does not honor You. We pray that their hearts would be turned towards You, that they would see the light of Your truth and be drawn to You.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, who came to save us from our sins and offer us new life. It is in His name that we pray, believing that You hear us and will answer according to Your will.
Amen.
