Los Angeles, March 9 (NationPress) Hollywood actor Chris Pratt revealed that his faith was solidified after God truly saved his son, who arrived seven weeks premature.
The 45-year-old star and his former spouse, Anna Faris, became parents to their son Jack in 2012. Pratt has now expressed that God played a pivotal role in saving his son, who was born weighing only three pounds and ten ounces.
The actor, who is also a father to Lyla, Eloise, and Ford with his current wife Katherine Schwarzenegger, shared with the Christian Post: "He faced numerous health challenges. I prayed fervently to God.
"During that period, I was undergoing a spiritual transition and didn't fully grasp it. I made a deal with God again: ‘I’m sorry, God, here I am once more, seeking your grace.’ And he indeed saved my son, which solidified my faith.
Pratt acknowledges that Jack's health struggles were a transformative moment in his life, according to femalefirst.co.uk.
The 'Guardians of the Galaxy' star commented: "My heart became softer, and my faith became stronger. That was when I decided, ‘From now on, I will dedicate my platform to God.’"
He also mentioned that his faith has significantly aided him in dealing with online backlash.
Pratt stated: "I’ve never encountered someone in person who said, ‘Hey, Chris, I want to discuss your beliefs that upset me.’ It’s all just background noise online.
"It's simple to post something, even if it’s fleeting; it just vanishes from these individuals’ devices. Yet it remains etched in digital stone. We must be cautious with our words. The Gospel teaches that the tongue is among the most perilous weapons, and just because you’re typing it on your phone doesn’t mean you’re not vocalizing it."
