Prayer Request 12/17 - 12/23

Tuesday
China has announced a curfew on online gaming for minors among new measures aimed at curbing video game addiction. The guidelines also place restrictions on the money minors can transfer to their online gaming accounts. During the summer vacation, many parents who are migrant workers will have their children join them in the cities. Children, however, simply play online games the whole time. We pray for God's mercy for parents who are believers and are separated from their children, that God will give them wisdom to know how to make up the long absences and the consequent difficulty of disciplining.
Wednesday
Under the new rules, gamers under 18 will be banned from playing online games between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. On weekdays, minors can only play for 90 minutes, while they may play up to three hours per day on weekends and public holidays. Many gaming addicts suffer a poor self-image, are introverted and are unsociable or are victims of bullying at school. We pray for healing for believers who have such children, and wisdom for parents to know how to discipline them and teach them self-control.
Thursday
China is the world's largest gaming market, accounting for a quarter of the world's revenue. The new rules were aimed at creating a "clear internet space" and "protecting the physical and mental health of minors." Many parents do not pay attention to or give importance to spending time with their children, so they buy mobile phones for kids and pay to recharge their games token. We ask God to enlighten believer parents that we must spend meaningful time with children, do things together and not forego playtime with children.
Friday
The new rules emphasize the responsibility of corporations that make games and also execute the government's duty to supervise the problem. Government units are required to study the rules and ensure that corporations abide by the requirements. Adolescents build friendships and feel a sense of accomplishment and belonging online. We pray that Christian parents will understand the influence of friends on their children and the importance of Christian friends. “But flee youthful lusts, and follow righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.” (2 Tim. 2:22 MKJV)
Saturday
The administration in China is also working with police to set up a real-name registration system, and to enable gaming companies to check the identity of their users against the national database. The new guidelines are China's latest move in an ongoing campaign to increase the regulation of the gaming industry. Students with gaming addiction play all night long, are sleepy during classes and do poorly in their studies. We pray that believers can discipline effectively their children, build good self-discipline, have a good parent-child relationship and be able to talk about their faith in their conversations with their children.
Sunday
In August 2018, Beijing announced plans to limit the number of new online games to "reduce nearsightedness in children and adolescents." It also criticized a popular mobile game, "Honor of Kings", for allegedly causing addiction in young people in 2017. Parents can't simply prohibit children from playing online games, but are unwilling to spend time with them or involve and encourage children to be in real social interactions. We ask God to help parents to know how to raise a child to love the Lord, love people and have a healthy body and mind.
Monday
Addiction to gaming, known officially by WHO as Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) in June 2018. IGD is diagnosed when an online gamer plays compulsively to the exclusion of other interests, including school and family life. And, men may be more susceptible to gaming addiction than women.We pray for children from Christian homes who are addicted to online games. May God's mercy come upon them, help their parents to change their teaching methods, and answer their prayers for healing. At the same time, we pray that churches will pay attention to the spiritual life of the believers' children and the temptations they face.

星期二
中國宣布了針對未成年人在線遊戲的宵禁措施,其中包括旨在遏制電子遊戲成癮的新措施。該指南還對未成年人可以轉入其在線遊戲帳戶的金額,進行了限制。暑假期間,很多在外打工的父母,都會讓孩子來到自己的城市相聚. 然而很多孩子來到城市,卻又中了 “網游” 的毒。求主憐憫與子女長期分離的信徒家長,賜下智慧知道如何正確和健康的彌補親情,和施行管教。
星期三
根據中國政府新規定,未滿18歲的遊戲玩家將被禁止在週日晚上10點與早上8點之間玩網絡遊戲。在週日,未成年人每天只能玩90分鐘,在周末和公共假期,每天最多可以玩3個小時。許多沉迷網游的人往往是個性自卑,沉默,不善交際,在學校也“常常被欺負”。我們為信徒有這樣孩子求上帝的醫治,也賜給家長有智慧來管教與養成孩子自律的好習慣。
星期四
中國是世界上最大的遊戲市場,佔全球收入的四分之一。新規定旨在創造一個“乾淨的互聯網空間”和“保護未成年人的身心健康”。有許多家長不重視與孩子一起的重要性,而是以金錢取代,給孩子買手機,給他們 遊戲的充值 錢 。求主光照信徒,在子女成長的過程中, 要真花時間與孩子在一起,做有意義的活動,自己也不推諉陪伴孩子玩樂的機會。
星期五
政府新的規定強調了網游公司的責任,並履行了政府監督問題的責任。並且會有政府部門研究規則,並確保公司遵守這些要求。中國年輕人在虛擬世界裡, 因著得分,結交朋友而得到成就感和歸屬感。 我們為信徒家長能關注孩子朋友的重要性,也用心為他們能有共同信仰的朋友來祈求,正如聖經上的教導 “逃避少年的私欲,同那清心禱告主的人追求公義、信德、仁愛、和平。”提後2:22。
星期六
政府與警方合作建立實名註冊系統. 並且使遊戲公司能夠依據國家數據庫檢查其用戶身份,旨在加強對遊戲行業的監管。喜歡玩手機的學生“晚上是會犯癮的”,於是白天上課就犯困,甚至在課堂上睡著,嚴重影響學業。我們為信徒家長能有效的管教子女禱告,不單是養成好的自律,也能有良好的親子關係,更是能談論信仰。
星期日
2018年8月,北京宣布了限制新網絡遊戲數量的計劃,以“減少兒童和青少年的近視”。它還批評了流行的手機遊戲“王者榮耀”,據稱該遊戲在2017年引起了大量年輕人的成癮。家長不能一味的禁止孩子玩網游,而不花時間跟孩子們一起,更是要帶孩子參與到更多現實社交中,在他們的成長中盡量多參與陪伴和關懷。 求主恩待信徒家長明白,如何養育孩子愛主,愛人,擁有健康的身心靈。
星期一
網路遊戲的沉迷,正式稱為互聯網游戲障礙(IGD),於2018年6月首次被加入世界衛生組織的國際疾病分類。當在線遊戲者強迫性玩遊戲而排除其他興趣,包括學校學習和家庭生活,就是淪為瘾 癖,而男性可能更容易患上游戲成癮。我們為沉迷於網游的信二代祈求,願神的憐憫臨到他們,幫助父母們改變教導方式,也垂聽他們求醫治的禱告。同時,也為教會關心信二代的靈命,正視他們受到的引誘。
