Chris Pratt: His Faith Journey and Recent Engagement
\nJurassic World star Chris Pratt recently proposed to Katherine Schwarzenegger. In his announcement of their engagement he told Schwarzenegger he was \u201cproud to live boldly in faith with you.\u201d Their relationship is the culmination of a decades-long faith journey for Pratt.<\/p>\n
Pratt has been open about how a chance encounter in a parking lot in Maui opened his heart to God. At the time, Pratt was living in a van and hadn\u2019t yet decided to pursue acting. A man stopped and told Pratt that \u201c\u2019Jesus told me to stop and talk to you. He said to tell you you\u2019re destined for great things,\u2019\u201d Pratt said in an interview with Esquire.Pratt says he became a Christian that night. Four weeks later, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting.
\nHis faith journey continued when his was son, Jack, was born nine weeks premature. In his family\u2019s time of need Pratt turned to prayer.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt restored my faith in God, not that it needed to be restored, but it really redefined it,\u201d Pratt told People.
\nAfter a month in the hospital, Jack was able to go home. Pratt credited the \u201cpower of prayer\u201d for saving his son and became more vocal about his faith in the following years.When he received a star on the Hollywood walk of fame he referenced Psalm 126:3 \u201cThe LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.\u201d While accepting an award at the Movie & TV awards he told the audience \u201cGod is real. God loves you, God wants the best for you,\u201d and \u201cLearn to pray. It\u2019s easy, and it is so good for your soul.\u201dIn early 2019, Pratt posted a video explaining that he was doing the Daniel Fast, a 21-day biblically inspired diet that focuses on prayer and fasting.
\nPratt knows that his faith might make him stand out in Hollywood, but says he feels called to share his love for God with other people.
\n\u201cThat kind of message, it might not be for everybody. But there is a group of people for whom that message is designed,\u201d he told the Associated Press. \u201cAnd nothing fills my soul more than to think that maybe some kid watching that would say, \u2018Hey, I\u2019ve been thinking about praying. Let me try that out.\u2019\u201d
\nBelief has been the foundation of Pratt and Schwarzenegger\u2019s relationship. They went to church together many times while dating and make faith a priority.
\nPratt knows exactly who to credit for their relationship.
\n\u201cThrilled God put you in my life,\u201d he said. NOTE: This is borrowed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
