Zachary Levi and Patricia Heaton discussed “The Unbreakable Boy” and trusting God in an interview on The Today Show. The two actors discussed their latest film and how all of us must come to the point where we accept and trust God’s plan for our lives. Watch the clip to hear what they say about “The Unbreakable Boy.”
Everyone has things they want to do and accomplish in life. We all have plans and goals. But as the popular saying mentions, God tends to get a good laugh out of hearing about our plans. We can be the most organized, driven person, but life often has other ideas.
In a clip posted on YouTube, Zachary and Patricia discuss their powerful, moving new film, “The Unbreakable Boy,” about a child with autism and brittle bone disease. Despite his conditions and the less-than-loving treatment he receives from others, the little guy has an unshakable optimism and chooses to see the best in everything and everyone.
Zachary mentioned he believes the film is about accepting and coming to terms with God’s plan for your life, a message desperately needed today.
“I think it’s about radically accepting where you are in your life, radically accepting the life that God has given you, radically surrendering to that life, which is so difficult,” he said. “We all struggle with this, you know? It’s like we have this idea of what we think of what our life is supposed to be, and when it’s not coming out to be that, we fight and we wrestle.”
Zachary added that there is so much love, joy, and peace in accepting the life that God has given us.
Later in the clip, Patricia mentioned that parents often have ideas and preconceived notions of who their children should be, but those ideas do not often match up with who they are intended to be.
As the Bible mentions, God provides a peace that surpasses all understanding. Life will not always go our way, but we must realize He is still in control even in those scary, unpredictable moments.
Isaiah 41:10: “Have no fear, for I am with you; do not be looking about in trouble, for I am your God; I will give you strength, yes, I will be your helper; yes, my true right hand will be your support.”
