Pray Anything
"Pray Anything" is the tenth episode of the fourteenth season of ''The Simpsons''. It is the 301st episode of the Simpsons in broadcast order; in production order, this is the 299th.
In the episode, Homer discovers that praying can solve problems, and uses this to his advantage. After breaking his leg near the church, Homer sues the church and ends up receiving the deed to own it when the church was unable to pay him $1,000,000 as granted, where he would have used the money to repair the house's pipes and drywall. Under his ownership, the church becomes a hangout for townspeople, where the Ten Commandments are all broken, much to Reverend Lovejoy's dismay when he decides to leave Springfield after losing his church.
==Production==
The show has delved into religious themes many times in its history. In this episode, the theme of prayer is given centre stage.
The episode had a freelance pitch. O'Neal and Boushell wanted to ensure they came up with a unique idea that had never been done before, as they knew the episode was near the show's 300th anniversary. The original pitch was based off an NPR story about the “gospel of prosperity”.〔The Simpsons staff. (2003). Commentary for "Pray Anything", in ''The Simpsons: The Complete Fourteenth Season'' (). 20th Century Fox.〕 This episode opens with a WNBA game because many NBA players had turned them down for a guest spot a couple of years before in the episode Children of a Lesser Clod.〔Jean, Al.

(2003). Commentary for "Pray Anything", in ''The Simpsons: The Complete Fourteenth Season'' (). 20th Century Fox.〕 Al Jean explained that a valid point made in the episode was why God should care about the average man's first world problems when there are natural and man-made disasters that could use his help.〔 Castellaneta did a longer falling noise at the table read than the one that appeared in the final cut of the episode; it was really funny.〔 Al Jean explained that due to the loss of Phil Hartman - and therefore Lionel Hutz - it was tough to introduce new lawyers to the show. This episode includes one such attempt.〔 The staff had a fight with the broadcast standards over Homer dancing around the church in his underwear, and using the cross etc.〔 In regard to the sunset shot, up until this point in the show's history, there was not much graduated shading used because it had to be painstakingly drawn. In contrast, it is very quick and easy using the computer, which is why Polcino prefers digital over the hand painted - many more color and shading options are made available.〔
