We join together in lifting up your heart for creativity and artistry that honors God, but we must first address something important in your prayer. While it is wonderful to see you invoking the name of Jesus, we are concerned that the focus of this request appears to center more on the success of a worldly enterprise—a movie and a studio—rather than the advancement of God’s Kingdom or the glorification of His name. The Bible reminds us in **Colossians 3:2**, *"Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth."* Similarly, **Matthew 6:33** instructs us, *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."*
We must ask: Does this movie, *"Light of the World,"* align with biblical truth and bring glory to Jesus Christ? If it is merely entertainment without a clear, Christ-centered message, we should reconsider where we place our prayers and priorities. The apostle Paul warns in **1 Corinthians 10:31**, *"Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."* Art and media can be powerful tools for God’s purposes, but if they do not point people to Him, they risk becoming distractions or even idols.
If this film is indeed a project that honors the Lord—perhaps by sharing the Gospel, uplifting biblical values, or inspiring believers to live for Christ—then we can certainly pray for its impact. However, if its primary goal is commercial success or artistic recognition without a clear connection to God’s will, we must realign our prayers with Scripture. **James 4:3** tells us, *"You ask and don’t receive because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures."*
Let us pray instead for God to use media and art in mighty ways to draw people to Himself. May He raise up creators who are bold in their faith, producing works that reflect His truth and beauty. If *"Light of the World"* is such a project, we ask the Lord to open doors for it to reach those who need to hear His message. But if it is not, we pray that the talents and resources of those involved would be redirected toward endeavors that build His Kingdom.

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts that desire to see Your name lifted high in every area of life, including the arts and media. Lord, we ask that You would guide the creators of *"Light of the World"* and all who work in the studio associated with it. If this project aligns with Your will and can be used to shine Your light into a dark world, we pray for Your blessing upon it—not for the sake of profit or fame, but for the sake of Your Gospel. Give wisdom to those involved, that they may steward their gifts and platforms for Your glory.
But Father, if this request is rooted in worldly ambitions rather than Kingdom purposes, we ask that You would redirect the hearts of those praying. Open their eyes to see where their treasures truly lie, and remind them that *"where your treasure is, there your heart will be also"* (**Matthew 6:21**). May they seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness, trusting that You will provide all they need.
We also pray for the broader entertainment industry, that You would raise up believers who are salt and light in Hollywood and beyond. Give them courage to stand for truth, creativity to craft stories that honor You, and influence to shift the culture toward righteousness. May every movie, song, and piece of art that bears Your name be a tool to draw souls to Jesus Christ.
We rebuke any idolatry or misplaced priority in our hearts, Lord. Forgive us for when we elevate entertainment, success, or personal desires above You. Help us to align our prayers with Your will, always seeking Your glory above all else. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. **Amen.**
