Oscar-winning actor Denzel Washington has been open about his faith in the past and recently revealed how he has relied on prayer during this season of life.
“At 66…having just buried my mother, I made a promise to her and to God, not just to do good the right way, but to honor my mother and my father by the way I live my life, the rest of my days on this Earth…,” Washington shared at “The Better Man Event” Christian men’s conference at First Baptist Orlando…
“I’m not going to…stand on any pedestal and tell you about what I had in mind for…your soul. Because…in the whole 40-year process, I was struggling for my own soul.
“It [the Bible] says in the last days we’ll become lovers of ourselves….Fame is a monster and we all have these ladders and battles…[W]e all have our individual challenges. It’s cliché [but] money, don’t make it better…Fame just magnifies the problems and the opportunities,” Washington continued…
“Stay on your knees. Watch me, but listen to God,” he added. “I hope that the words in my mouth and the meditation of my heart are pleasing in God’s sight, but I’m human…If you want to talk to…someone, talk to the one that can do something about it. Constantly develop those habits.”
Washington compared spiritual habits to the physical practice of exercise…
“My chest is sagging right now because I haven’t been lifting weights. I’m losing weight first. So you got to lift them faith weights…You may get injured…you may want to give up, you may never be big … you have to refill your bucket every night…[and] every morning.”
Movieguide® previously reported:
Washington is a believer in Christ and isn’t shy of discussing the biblical principles he brings into his marriage and sharing that he attends church. On the grand stage at AFI’s gala, while accepting his award, he was humbled and declared, “if nothing else, I am living proof of the power of God.” The actor added, “anything you think you see and you think you know where it comes from, the opportunities that I have been afforded, I have been given by the grace of God.”
Does it encourage you to hear Mr. Washington’s advice, and to watch his example as he gives glory to God? Share in the comments below!

Very enlightening everything was fully heard and understood, very well put together. congratulations. Don
Praise our God in Heaven the He allows some well known people to share their faith,Denzel has always been a stand up guy..believing that many will be encouraged by his sharing openly
Praise God when people allow themselves to be used by God on the platform He has given them. I pray Denzel will continue to grow in God’s word, share the good news of Jesus Christ and seek God’s perfect will in prayer for his life.
I pray for you, your wife and your family as you continue to stand for the word of God in America and around the world.
Everyone has some sort of platform in their family, hometown, school, workplace, neighborhood, club, etc., to share the gospel with others. Please ask our great Lord to speak through you ~ the word ~ in boldness and love ~ all that will glorify His precious name.
