Mega movie star Chris Pratt, who stars as Star-Lord in Marvel Studios Guardians of the Galaxy and Owen Grady in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, tweeted out he was praying for Kevin Smith, who recently suffered a near life-ending heart attack last night.

Pratt tweeted, “Kevin we don’t know each other too good but I have loved you since Clerks and I’m praying my ass off for you cause I believe in the healing power of prayer. Can you please pray with me people!?”

That's cool and everything but Doctors and nurses save lives not prayer.

If paying works, I wish someone would pray for world peace or to stop mass murders. Maybe another day

Pratt didn’t seem bothered by the attacks and doubled down that he would continue to pray for Kevin Smith tweeting, “Praying for you. I will continue to. You inspired me with Clerks when I was a senior HS. I’m tagging my Lb/rb football coach who showed me the movie cause he believed in me and knew I’d be inspired.”

The power of prayer does and will work!!! I believe with you for a full and speedy recovery. I had a friend last year who went through the same thing and is fine now…POWER OF PRAYER

Praying with y’all this morning. God, be with the doctors and staff and bring healing to Kevin. Bring him and his family the peace that you give.

Some even revealed their own stories and miracles they witnessed through the power of prayer.

Speaking from my own experience, I was diagnosed with ovarian and uterine cancer last year. All tests and imaging confirmed 3 9-11 cm tumours. I had thousands praying for me. When the surgeons opened me up, all they found was a single 9 cm fibroid.

In fact, my ovaries were perfectly clear and normal, despite being covered in numerous painful cysts for years. The doctors told us there was so medical explanation for what they found (or didn’t find).

It’s a sad state in our society when people like Chris Pratt who openly announce they are praying for someone who just suffered a near-death heart attack are ridiculed and attacked for believing in God and the power of prayer. The free exercise of religion is one of our founding principles. It’s clearly stated in the First Amendment to the Constitution, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…” Our country was founded by people who were fleeing religious persecution. We need to honor the tradition of religious freedom and respect people’s extremely personal beliefs. It’s one of our core traditions that truly makes America Great.
