Thank you that we live in a world with so many ways to communicate. Thank you for the joy and entertainment that the media can bring us. For all the amazing ways the it can be used - for campaigns for justice and truth, for fundraising and increasing awareness of worthy causes, for organisations such as Sat-7 that allow your word to be heard in places it couldn't be otherwise.
Sorry for using the media for our own gain and not Yours, for concerning ourselves with how we are seen, not how others are treated. For where our engagement with it has not been in line with your teaching.
May your word, your truth, your integrity be at the heart of our media. Please bring hope to the humiliated, peace to the harassed, truth for the slandered, inspiration to the storytellers, justice to journalism, courage to campaigners and integrity to the influential.
May Your wisdom be in every creative decision that's made, your love be shown on set, in the studio and in the edit suite. May your truth and justice shine through the newsrooms.
Lord, sometimes the power and the influence of the media can seem overwhelming, but we recognise that you are bigger, more powerful and have an amazing plan for it.
Amen
