"Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy- think about such things."
Philippians 4: 8 (NIV)
I read an article that stated the average child spends more than 40 hours a week in front of a screen. This does not include computer time at school. That's a lot of time watching television, playing video games, texting, and using social media!
The media and entertainment industries are powerful influences on our children and culture. This month, my "First Friday Intercession" is for these culture shapers.
Father God in Heaven, You are Sovereign over all!
Please give parents wisdom to limit their children's screen time. Help them to understand their responsibility for what comes into their homes. Give our children wisdom and a strong conscience to know and understand what is right in Your eyes. Help them to make good reading and entertainment choices. May their thoughts be pleasing to You.
Thank You for strategically placing Your people within the sports, media, and entertainment industries. Help them to be light, and show Your love and grace to others. Give them strength to be bold and true to Your word. Bless them with creativity and favor. May truth and morality be presented by our nation's media. Amen.
