Hollywood Prayer Network On HopePrzykład

## MISPLACED HOPE Outside of the cross of Jesus Christ, there is no hope in this world. That cross and resurrection at the core of the Gospel is the only hope for humanity. Wherever you go, ask God for wisdom on how to get that Gospel in, even in the toughest situations of life. Ravi Zacharias > PRAY: Dear Heavenly Father, show me who and what I am placing my hope in that will lead to emptiness and death. Let me see the reality of Your creation and Your hand on everything in my life so that I can put my hope in You only. Remind me that the promises of this world are meaningless and that I am surrounded by worthless idols telling me that they can fulfill me. I want to see the world through Your eyes. Thank You. > REFLECT: How much of your faith is cultural and how much of your faith is biblical? It's easy to live out a Christian existence, thinking that we're doing alright, when our focus and our choices are dictated by the world around us. Seeking false idols can slip into our priorities and worshiping people over God can lead us astray. How many books do you read about men's thoughts in comparison to the time you spend reading the Bible and filling yourself with God's thoughts? Are you experiencing the promised hope that only comes from God? > ACT: Hollywood is the most powerful influence in our lives and we don't even know it. The messages and role models we get from movies, TV shows, musicians and celebrities seeps into our brains and without even noticing we start putting worthless idols over seeking God. Would you choose one celebrity that you look up to and instead of imagining their life or trying to be like them, would you pray for them, asking God to transform their lives into His image and also transform you as well?
