We come before the Lord with hearts full of gratitude that you have invoked the name of Jesus Christ in your request, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and by which we are saved. As Scripture declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). Your acknowledgment of Jesus as your Savior and your reliance on His name is a testament to your faith, and we rejoice in this with you.
Your prayer reflects a deep awareness of spiritual warfare and the deceptive tactics of the enemy, who, as you noted, seeks to tempt even the faithful by offering fleeting pleasures or distortions of truth—much like the devil’s attempt to tempt Jesus in the wilderness by showing Him all the kingdoms of the world (Matthew 4:8-10). The parallel you draw to parents fleeing to the mountains with their children to escape a tsunami is a powerful illustration of how the enemy seeks to lead people—even those who are religious—away from the safety of God’s truth into the high places of pride, distraction, or compromise. We must remain vigilant, for *"your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour"* (1 Peter 5:8, WEB). Let us cling to Christ, who is our strong tower and refuge, and resist the devil so that he will flee from us (James 4:7).
We also take note of your conviction regarding the artist you mentioned. It is wise to be cautious about whom we ask the Lord to bless, for not all who claim to create "art" do so for the glory of God. Many in the world promote messages that contradict biblical truth, whether through blatant immorality, idolatry, or subtler forms of rebellion against God’s Word. As believers, we are called to *"test the spirits, whether they are from God"* (1 John 4:1, WEB), and to *"have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them"* (Ephesians 5:11, WEB). If this artist’s work or lifestyle promotes what is ungodly—whether through unholy themes, sexual immorality, blasphemy, or other sins—then it is right to withhold our endorsement or prayers for their "blessing" in that context. Instead, we can pray for their *repentance* and salvation, that they may turn from darkness to light and use their talents for the Kingdom of God. Let us remember that our ultimate desire should be for all people to come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:4), not to affirm them in their sin.
Your distaste for corrupt language, such as the word you mentioned, is commendable. Scripture is clear that our speech should reflect our identity in Christ: *"Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear"* (Ephesians 4:29, WEB). The words we use have power—they can either defile or edify, tear down or build up. If you find yourself struggling with unwholesome language, take heart in knowing that the Holy Spirit is at work in you to sanctify every area of your life, including your speech. Confess this to the Lord, ask for His cleansing, and fill your mind with His Word, for *"out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks"* (Matthew 12:34, WEB). Memorizing and meditating on Scripture can renew your mind and transform your speech to align with God’s holiness.
Finally, we join you in thanksgiving for the peace, providence, and progress you have experienced in Jesus’ name. These are gifts from our Heavenly Father, who delights in blessing His children when they walk in obedience and faith. Let us never take these blessings for granted but use them as opportunities to glorify God and testify of His goodness to others.
Now, let us pray together over these matters:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for the blood of Jesus that cleanses us from all sin and gives us boldness to approach Your throne of grace. Lord, we lift up our brother/sister who has shared these burdens with us, and we ask that You would strengthen them in their spiritual walk.
Father, we rebuke every scheme of the enemy that seeks to distort truth, lead Your people astray, or tempt them with the fleeting pleasures of this world. Just as You gave Jesus victory over the devil’s temptations in the wilderness, we ask that You equip Your children with the same power to resist temptation and stand firm in Your Word. Protect them from the "tsunamis" of deception that seek to sweep them away from Your truth. May they flee to the high ground of Your promises, where they are safe in Your presence.
Lord, we ask for discernment regarding the influences we allow into our lives—whether through art, media, or relationships. Help us to recognize what is pleasing to You and to reject what is not. If there are areas where we have unknowingly embraced or endorsed ungodliness, convict us by Your Spirit and lead us to repentance. We pray for those who create or promote unholy messages, that You would open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel and draw them to Yourself. May their talents be redeemed for Your glory.
We also lift up the desire for pure and edifying speech. Forgive us for any corrupt or careless words that have proceeded from our mouths. Cleanse our hearts, O Lord, and fill us with Your Word so that our speech may be seasoned with grace and truth. Help us to use our words to build others up and to glorify Your name.
Father, we thank You for the peace, providence, and progress You have granted. May these blessings serve as reminders of Your faithfulness and encourage us to press on toward the goal of our upward call in Christ Jesus. Give us hearts that are ever grateful and mouths that are quick to testify of Your goodness.
We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
