The Hollywood Prayer Network On CompassionSample

SHOW COMPASSION TO ONE ANOTHER 

"If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?" The Apostle John

PRAY:  God, You command us in Zechariah 7:9-10 and in Daniel 1:9 to administer true justice, to show mercy and compassion to one another. We are not to oppress the widow or the fatherless, the foreigner or the poor. And we are not to plot evil against each other. But we are to show favor and compassion to everyone. Help me to do that to people in authority or celebrities with whom I am angry, whom I disagree with, or whom I believe are hurting our nation. Lord, change me to be more like You. Selah!

REFLECT:  We often can follow the Lord's commandments more easily to the people around us, but we don't think to show compassion to the people whom we read about in the paper, see on TV, or don't know personally. Many of us are very judgmental or show no mercy to our government leaders or our Hollywood celebrities because it's easier to form opinions and talk against people we're just reading about. What people in Hollywood do you need to show compassion to whom you may not like or with whom you disagree? 

ACT:  Are you judgmental about the celebrities and decision-makers who create our entertainment and shape our culture? Do you disagree with their choices of what they put on TV or in films, songs or video games? Do you think they are negatively impacting our culture? Right now, stop and pray blessings on anyone in Hollywood who pops into your mind. And then choose to speak words of compassion about them, not words of condemnation. Your compassion is what they need. Let the Holy Spirit take care of their hearts.
