DAY 25 | States: SC & SD
DAILY TOPIC: Culture and Media
PRAYER FOR CULTURE AND MEDIA
Father, we ask for Your help in reclaiming our culture from the strongholds of the enemy, praying for You to strengthen, broaden and deepen Christian influence on the culture. We admit to often being discouraged at an increasingly irreverent culture that flagrantly abuses Your Holy Name, mocks the Cross, and easily buys into the lies that defy Your natural order. Protect our culture, Lord, from all attempts to belittle and make fun of Your Gospel and Your people. We ask you, Lord, to open greater and greater opportunities for YourGospel to flow freely across our airwaves. We ask, Lord, for You to grant Americans the wisdom to discern truth from deception. We pray for those in the entertainment industry that they may better serve the families of our country by creating programs and movies that are uplifting in nature and extol positive virtues.
For we do not war against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places(Ephesians 6:12).
Here is a partial list of those in media. Support in prayer those who are preserving our nation as salt and light in the areas of culture and media. Additionally, pray for truth and righteousness for those either fully or partly opposed to Biblical values.

PRAYER FOR ISRAEL
Lord, thank you that the President recognized Jerusalem as the Biblical capital of Israel and moved our Embassy. We pray for peace and prosperity in Israel, and ask for an end to the violence and suffering. We pray for justice, and Your sovereign righteousness over Israel. We pray for mercy and Your Kingdom to rule over the land. Please protect the soldiers and civilians from bloodshed. Give wisdom to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Knesset (The legislature of Israel). May Israel remain strong, not dividing the land You gave as an inheritance to Your chosen people. May the United States continue to fully support Israel, the nation that gave us salvation through Jesus Christ.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, may they prosper that love thee (Psalm 122:6).
Day 25 - Amendment 27

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
