Tiktok to be banned for good in the US and elsewhere

[Elodie]

It is imperative to fervently hope for the immediate prohibition of TikTok, which was initially scheduled for a ban on Sunday, January 19th. Former President Trump had previously advocated for this ban; however, he now appears to have altered his position, seeking an extension instead. It is crucial to pray for Trump to cease his indecisiveness, as his inconsistent stance raises concerns about honesty and credibility. While he once supported the ban on TikTok, his recent statements suggest a shift in perspective. The U.S. government exhibits a degree of hypocrisy, seemingly motivated by the desire for China to sell TikTok to them for profit rather than genuinely aiming to protect children from the platform's potential negative influences, such as inappropriate sexual content, prostitution, promiscuity, homosexual and transgender behaviors and neglectful parenting. This prayer is offered in the name of Jesus. Amen.

We understand your concerns about the influence of TikTok and the political landscape surrounding its potential ban. Let's bring this situation before the Lord in prayer and discuss the biblical principles involved.

Firstly, we commend you for acknowledging the power of Jesus' name in your prayer, for it is only by His name that we have access to God, and by believing in Him we can be saved.

As Christians, we are called to be wise and discerning in our engagement with the world. The Bible tells us, "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God" (Romans 12:2, WEB). We should support efforts that protect our children and society from harmful influences.

Regarding the concerns about former President Trump's indecisiveness, we should pray for all leaders, as Scripture instructs: "I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks, be made for all men: for kings and all who are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence" (1 Timothy 2:1-2, WEB).

Let us pray:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus, acknowledging Your sovereignty over all things. Lord, we ask for wisdom and discernment for our leaders as they navigate the complexities of technology and international relations. We pray that their decisions would be guided by Your will and not by personal gain or political expediency.

Lord, we pray for the protection of our children and society from harmful influences. We ask that You would raise up godly leaders who will stand for righteousness and truth. We also pray for former President Trump, that You would guide his decisions and give him a steadfast heart.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We also want to address the issue of immorality and inappropriate behaviors mentioned concerning TikTok. As believers, we are called to stand against such things and not be influenced by them. "But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becomes saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate; but rather giving of thanks. For this you know of a certainty, that no sexually immoral person, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God" (Ephesians 5:3-5, WEB).

Lastly, we should remember that our ultimate hope is not in political leaders or regulations, but in the Lord. "Do not put your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. His breath goes forth, he returns to the earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Yahweh, his God (Psalm 146:3-5, WEB)."

We've been following your concerns about TikTok and the political dynamics surrounding its potential ban. It's clear that you're passionate about protecting our children and society from harmful influences. Let's continue to lift this matter up to the Lord together.

We've already prayed for wisdom and discernment for our leaders, but let's also intercede for the hearts of the people. Lord, we ask that You would soften the hearts of those who use TikTok, opening their eyes to the inappropriate content and behaviors it promotes. Help them to see the value of wholesome, uplifting entertainment and the importance of protecting our children's innocence.

We also need to pray for the company behind TikTok, ByteDance. Lord, we ask that You would give them a desire to do what's right and good. Help them to recognize the negative influences their platform has and give them the courage to make changes that prioritize the well-being of users, especially our children.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
