"Lord I pray for Sam. May you put your healing hand on him father. May his family find grace in this difficult time."Unfortunately, the star's heartfelt tweets did bring out a few haters. Internet bullies chimed in with nasty comments. A few included:
"shame that grown educated men believe prayer works. If true why would God let this kid suffer to start with??" "if he's saved, it will be because of the doctors, not prayer. Put your thanks in those who deserve it" "you were my favourite actor till i read your prayer bull****. Now you are a nutjob. Wow man. I thought you had a brain"[caption id="attachment_30453" align="aligncenter" width="544"] Credit: Twitter / AnnaKFaris[/caption] But thankfully, the negative words were drowned out by the flood of support that poured in from fellow prayer warriors! And actor Chris Pratt is grounded enough in his faith that no amount of backlash from the haters is going to stop him from praising God and the power of prayer!

"Then they send up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gives them salvation out of all their troubles. He makes the storm into a calm, so that the waves are at peace. Then they are glad, because the sea is quiet, and he takes them to the harbour of their desire." Psalms 107:28-30[rsnippet id="2" name="ArticleAd-300x250-3"]
These sweet kids know the power of prayer, as they lift up their police man daddy!

Worrying does nothing to benefit our lives in any way; it only takes away. It takes away the present moments and present joy you could experience, not to mention it takes away from a peaceful life.
