Other's Who Are Praying for Shia LaBeouf

Who knew!? There are others praying for Shia LaBeouf too! Check out Victorya Rogers post below.

"Pray for 23 year old mega star Shia LaBeouf. The star of both Transformers movies plus Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is on the cover of PARADE magazine for June 14 and confesses he is mixed-up and doesn't have a clue what to do. "I don't handle fame well...." LeBeouf says. I have no idea where this insecurity comes from, but it's a God-sized hole. If I knew, I'd fill it, and I'd be on my way."

Like so many Hollywood stars, LaBeouf appears to have the the world at his feet with everything anyone could dream of and yet this self confessed alchoholic says he has no idea what life is about.

Pray that God will bring an authentic Christian into LaBeouf's life to share hope and Truth with him and that LaBeouf will be open to bring Christ into his life to fill that "God-sized hole".

Prayer changes things. Be part of the change for LaBeouf's life!"

Why Pray for Shia LaBeouf?

Shia LaBeouf is one of the greatest actors of our generation today. The story of his childhood resonates with many in this nation and even around the world. His life, since he became a Hollywood actor, has dramatically changed 180°. Yet, he has confessed that life in Hollywood isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. In an article called, "The Mixed Up Life of Shia LaBeouf," by Parade Magazine, Shia gives readers a view into his true feelings about life. He states, Sometimes I feel I’m living a meaningless life.

Did I read that correctly? A meaningless life in Hollywood??? No! Seriously though, it is a touching article. I recommend that you read it. Who knew that life as a Hollywood actor doesn’t guarantee happiness? In fact, Hollywood has proven to turn talented people into drug addicts and losers who do nothing purposeful with their lives. They either end up dying young i.e. Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, Britney Murphey or living irresponsibly.

As you read the article, you notice that Shia has a void (definition: emptiness) inside that he can’t seem to fill. Who doesn’t have a void in their lives at some point? And so many of us try to fill it through external things. If you’re a Shia fan, you’ve seen him smoking, drinking, and even getting arrested. I hold no judgment because it could be you or I going through the same thing. No one is perfect. Yet, the truth is that Jesus Christ is the only one who can fill the void we feel inside. In fact, I believe we were intentionally created to have a void that only He can fill. Even though for a while we try to fill it with placebos, but none will ever do or have the same impacting effect as He can.

It’s not uncommon for Hollywood actors to “find religion,” however having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is not a religion, it’s a relationship; a relationship like you and I have with our family and friends. I’m not kidding! There are actors such as Steven Baldwin who several years ago accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and he hasn’t looked back since. He’s doing great things for Christ and living full of His grace and peace. Read or listen to his testimony and be inspired.

So! This is why I’m praying for Shia LaBeouf. What Jesus did for Steven he can do for Shia. I started out in this journey to pray for Shia after watching him during interviews where I found him to be very candid and open. Listening to him, I could sense that he was missing something. His answers to questions reveals that he is a young man in search of something greater. His interview in Parade confirmed it. I've prayed since, but now, I thought perhaps there could be others who feel the same, and the more of us pray, the more of an impact there will be!

If you feel the same as I do, join me! It can be a simple prayer every morning or evening or both. Our hope: That Shia LaBeouf meets Jesus! And believe me, we’ll definitely hear about it if he does. Our mission: To pray for 365 days (1 year) without fail. I believe in the power of prayer. If one or two or more come together in prayer, anything can happen!

Let me know if you decide to join me.
