In a recent interview on Fox News, Mark Wahlberg said turning 50 has deepened his faith and hope for eternity, and that starting each day in prayer helps him face life’s challenges.
“I’ve dealt with a lot of loss in my life, and I realize now that I’ve just passed the 50 mark four years ago. Life goes by very quickly, and I’m hoping that there is something better beyond this life, and I hope to reunite with my loved ones, and I hope to be able to continue to grow and make amends and utilize the talents and gifts that have been given to me to serve God’s purpose. Look, I’m constantly pursuing a relationship with God every day.”
“I feel like if I get on my hands and my knees first thing when I wake up, that the rest of the day is going to be easier. At least I can deal with all the things that are being thrown at me, and as you know, as you get older, things come from every direction, and life can become overwhelming at times, but expressing my gratitude and making sure that I’m wearing that armor to make sure that I’m doing what God has chosen for me to do, and I know that’s something that I take very seriously.”
