SUPPORTING SCRIPTURE
A simple prayer is all it takes to connect with God every day. And if you don’t know how to pray, no worries! We’ve got you covered. Check out this simple prayer below to get started!
Best Movies Ever
What movie came to mind when you saw this prayer? What is it about the movie that keeps you coming back to it? Was it the story? A particular scene? The music? Or maybe it’s because you watched it with someone special.
Movies can capture our imaginations. Sometimes there’s a hero who does what’s right, rescues others, and somehow comes out of crazy situations unscathed. Sometimes it’s the opposite—someone lays down their life for another. We can also be drawn to movies that inspire us to be better, or hold true to our convictions, or embrace each moment as a gift.
Whatever it is—a single movie about fly-fishing, a space trilogy, a six-movie exploration of Middle Earth, or an eight-part magical adventure—enjoy it! After you have the popcorn popped, your favorite drink in hand, and have skipped past the commercials, push pause to read this Scripture and pray this prayer.
“Ears to hear and eyes to see—
both are gifts from the Lord” (Proverbs 20:12).
A Prayer Before Watching a Favorite Movie
Mysterious One, you capture our imaginations with awe and wonder and inspire us through beauty and storytelling. Thank you for stirring the scriptwriter to craft this story, the actors to bring it to life, and the director to guide this film. Thank you for how this movie inspires me, and that I get to watch it again. Please use the next couple of hours to draw me close to you, and make me more like you. Amen.
The role of prayer in Christian life is powerful and helps us in our mission to creatively explore how we connect with God in the ordinary, extraordinary, everyday moments of life. For more everyday prayers, visit this page!
