“The way we love our children, the more we love our children, the more we will understand the capacity for our Father in heaven to love us,” he said. “Each and every one of us a precious creation, and he just marvels in the ways that we can try to please Him. That should give us a great deal of comfort. I know it does for me.”
The well-known actor has been very outspoken about his Christian faith.
Over the summer, when he won MTV’s “Generation Award,” Pratt offered viewers nine rules for living well. He told the audience, “God is real. God loves you, God wants the best for you. Believe that, I do.”
The 39-year-old celebrity also told the audience to “learn to pray” because “it is so good for your soul.”
