At a time when Hollywood seems increasingly secular by the day, Chris Pratt refreshingly is not afraid to share his faith. In a February 13 Instagram post the Jurassic World star revealed the Biblical verse that keeps him inspired on a daily basis.
First up, Pratt told his fans that his brother made him a wooden tray to “throw our wallets, keys, cell-phones, lighters, pistols or whatever else we keep in your pocket” on. After being asked by his brother what he wanted inscribed on the tray, Pratt debated about getting an “American bald eagle smoking a cigar, holding a machine gun and an American flag whirling all bad ass in the wind maybe with some nunchucks or something.” But he then finally decided on a Biblical verse:
“I’d like having a touchstone that I could take with me as I travel on the road for work. Something less straight up bad ass hero and more homesick in need of comfort. So I though about this great bible verse Philippians 4:13 which I’ve relied on for strength from time to time. And he knocks this thing out in like a day!”
Pratt included a photo of the tray with the Philippians 4:13 verse “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
The following is the full quote from Pratt’s official Instagram page:
So my brother, @cullypratt makes these awesome pocket dump trays. We all need a place to throw our wallets, keys, cell-phones, lighters, pistols or whatever else we keep in your pocket so you know exactly where it is the next day. Well he wanted to make me one and asked me what I wanted on it. I went for the usual chris answer, American bald eagle smoking a cigar, holding a machine gun and an American flag whirling all bad ass in the wind maybe with some nunchucks or something. But then I thought a lot about being homesick. I'd like having a touchstone that I could take with me as I travel on the road for work. Something less straight up bad ass hero and more homesick in need of comfort. So I though about this great bible verse Philippians 4:13 which I've relied on for strength from time to time. And he knocks this thing out in like a day!! Reclaimed wood and a wood burner. All by hand. He does all kinds of awesome art stuff and in proud of him. He's so awesome and you should follow him. He's a unique individual and my best friend. An army veteran and a sheriffs deputy who has seen a lot of shit in his life but gets up everyday to go to work and help people having bad days cause he's a real hero. A hero who loves to make something out of nothing with his bare hands. He's very good and when we were kids he used to make me smell his finger and I always fell for it and I wore his clothes and worshiped him and I still do to this day. Thanks to my big brother from the same mother for my awesome #cullypepper dump tray. It's my favorite thing I have.

Of course, this isn’t the first time Pratt has expressed his faith via Instragram. He was also outspoken about it in the pages of Vanity Fair.
