"Guardians of the Galaxy" star Chris Pratt said that he and wife, actress Anna Faris, drew closer to God after their son was born nine weeks premature.
The couple, who were married in July 2009, celebrated the birth of their first child in August 2012. Pratt said that although their son, Jack, is now healthy, his early delivery was frightening.
"We were scared for a long time," Pratt, 35, told PEOPLE on Wednesday. "We prayed a lot."
Jack spent one month in a neonatal intensive care unit while his parents and other family members prayed for him.
"It restored my faith in God, not that it needed to be restored, but it really redefined it," Pratt said. "The baby was so beautiful to us, and I look back at the photos of him and it must have been jarring for other people to come in and see him, but to us he was so beautiful and perfect."
Four months after the birth, Pratt reported that Jack was hitting his milestones and doing great.
