Prayer for Hollywood

Lord, as entertainment awards season is upon us, we turn our prayers toward Hollywood. Lord, each and every day, thousands of people are at work producing entertainment for the masses in that one community alone. Much is beautiful; much is destructive. Lord, please make your presence known in Hollywood. We pray for those who know you to serve you with excellence (1 Peter 4:10-11). Give them wisdom each day to make choices that honor you. Give them courage and effectiveness as they share you with those around them and through their work. We pray for new Christians like Shia LaBeouf to find others to guide and encourage them, and for the roots of their faith to go deep and remain strong. We pray for high-quality films that will point people to you in powerful ways. We pray for those who do not know you to meet you. May we not be quick to criticize what we see and hear about this place, but may we be quick to pray--because even the most camera-hungry starlet is made in your image and fiercely loved by you. In Jesus’ gracious name we pray, amen.
