Actor Chris Pratt said that he “wouldn’t change a thing” about his 2018 MTV Speech in which he told audiences that God loves them and stressed the importance of prayer.<\/p>\n

In a recent\u00a0Instagram post<\/a>, the “Jurassic Park” actor reflected on his speech after accepting the Generation Award at the MTV Movie & TV Awards. In the speech, he outlined several pieces of advice for his audience, much of it infused with biblical wisdom.<\/p>\n

“I was given three minutes to impart wisdom to the next generation,” he shared. “Given the chance to do it again, I wouldn’t change a thing. Except maybe I wouldn’t try to eat the popcorn backstage,” the actor captioned a video of the event.”<\/p>\n

The advice included: “You have a soul, be careful with it. God is real. God loves you. God wants the best for you; believe that I do. Learn to pray. It’s easy, and it is so good for your soul. Grace is a gift. Like the freedom we enjoy in this country, that grace was paid for with somebody else’s blood. Do not forget that. Don’t take that for granted.”<\/p>\n

“God bless you,” the actor concluded his speech, drawing cheers and applause from the audience.\u00a0The 43-year-old actor, who recently welcomed his second child with his second wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, has been open about his Christian beliefs and how they have guided him throughout his life. Pratt and his family attend Zoe Church, pastored by Chad Veach.<\/p>\n
