There is little doubt that some of our Christian young people are addicted to cyber media. They are online daily, almost every available waking hour — even into the wee hours of the morning. Frequently they drag into church services on the Lord’s day like zombies, totally unable to focus on spiritual matters and listen reverently to the word of God, some even disdain it. One youngster conceded, " media has taken over my life.” The statement was not a reflection of concern, but was exulting.
Most Gracious Heavenly Father,
I pray that You would help our youth to avoid technology’s unintended consequences like idolizing smartphone, using cyber media to feed other idols in their life, or to keep them from relating to others they have called them to love. Help them to walk in the path of Christ and Living Word.
In Jesus’ name, AMEN.
