"There's a slightly cynical explanation people like to give when it comes to faith and age. People turn to God later in life, they say, because they're getting closer to death. It sounds very convenient, but it doesn't quite ring true.
"What actually happens is far more interesting, and far more human. As
the years go by, something shifts, not out of fear, but out of
experience. Life has been lived, things have been seen, and slowly,
almost without noticing, faith begins to make more sense."
In a recent commentary, writer Cerith Gardiner
reflected on some of the reasons why people turn to God with age, including they start to notice patterns in their own lives and the need to control everything starts to soften.
