Suggested Scriptural References:
For
we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places. ~Ephesians 6:12
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience. ~Ephesians 2:2
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. ~Philippians 4:8

The suggested prayers below are a guideline to follow.
Suggested Prayers:
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 a growingly 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 Your Gospel 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.
We especially pray Your blessings upon those in media, entertainment, the arts and journalism who are driven by loyalty to You. We ask for favor and acceptance for their work.
We ask You to raise up, equip, and abundantly provide for Your true disciples in the media, the arts, entertainment and journalism.
We pray for honesty in journalism.
We pray for those who would intend to bring our country down by bringing our culture down.
We ask you to foil the plans of those who would bring others down in any form.
We ask for Your transforming power in the lives of those who would divide, deceive and destroy.
We pray for Your protection from pornography and the indecency that plagues our communities, harms our families and undermines morality.
We pray for an end to the surge of pornography. We ask You to loosen the chains that bind the hearts of so many men, women and young people. We ask You to replace deadly desires with a true desire for righteousness and purity.
In the Name of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, we pray.
