Jesus Christtoldhis followers, “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
“I’ve dealt with a lot of loss in my life, and I realize now that I 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,” WahlbergtoldFox News host Ainsley Earhardt on Ash Wednesday.
“And I hope to reunite with my loved ones, and I hope to continue to grow, and make amends, and utilize the talents and gifts that have been given to me to serve God’s purpose,” he continued.
Wahlberg, along with “The Chosen” actor Jonathan Roumie, were on Fox to promote the prayer appHallow’s 40-day Lent challenge. Lent is the 40 days of prayer, fasting, and repentance leading up toEaster.
Earhardtasked Wahlberg to elaborate on his catchphrase seen in his Hallow commercials, “Stay prayed up.”
“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,” he said.
“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’s chosen for me to do. And that’s something that I take very seriously,” “The Shooter” star recounted.
