June 2021 Prayer Focus & RemindersTheme for 2021: Let there be less of me and more of Him. (John 3:30)

Blessings of Righteousness: “...Your heavenly father knows you need these things (food clothes etc.). Seek first His kingdom and His (gift of) righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well (as His kingdom and His righteousness). (Matt 6:32-33)

Prayers for News and Social Media:

The news media would not bear false witness but report complete truth with wisdom and integrity, without exaggeration or suppression facts or presenting opinion or slander as fact. (Ex. 20:16; Pv. 14:34)

News media would report good news and The Good News without ridicule; that they would build up what is right, good, just and beautiful in this country (Phil 4:8; Gal. 6:7)

Reveal and bring to nothing every hidden, unrighteous agenda in news and social media. (Isa. 59:14; Jer. 29:8-9))

Call forth the bold voices of righteousness and truth that You have strategically placed for such a time as this and have not yet been heard. (Ex 31:3; Eph. 6:20)

The silencing of righteous voices and those seeking truth and justice would cease (Luke 11:52)

That all news reporting on churches, Christians and religious persecution be truthful, accurate and not suppressed. (Rev. 12:11)

That multi-national companies that have become bigger than any government submit themselves to the laws of the nations they serve and not seek to change the laws of those individual sovereign lands. (Pv. 30: 21-22a; Romans 13:1-6)

Pray for the salvation of the owners of broadcast and social media companies: Sumner Redstone (CBS), Bob Iger (Disney), Jeff Beweks (Time-Warner), Brian Roberts (Comcast), Rupert Murdock (NewsCorp), Kazuo Hirai (Sony), Mark Zuckerburg (Facebook), Jeff Bezos (Amazon), Larry Page, Sergey Brin & Sundar Pinchai (Alphabet/Google), Jack Dorsey (Twitter) (Job 21:13-17; 36:5-12)

Pray for the salvation and emotional/psychological protection of the reporters, anchors and weather-people (and their staff) that you watch on a regular basis.

Thought for the month: “God rules the world through the prayers of His saints… Prayer is the power by which Satan is conquered and... the church distributes the powers of heaven”
