In a recent interview, actor Mark Wahlberg shared how prayer is essential to his daily routine. He follows a strict diet and workout plan to stay in shape for his action movie roles, from doing cold plunges to intermittent fasting. Still, prayer is one of the most valuable parts of his daily life.<\/p>\n

When asked by <\/a>GQ <\/em>if meditation played a part in his schedule, he said, \u201cI pray. I\u2019m always kind of in my head, so I\u2019m a deep thinker, but meditation, no, not really.\u201d Wahlberg may appear fearless when conquering new projects or roles, but he shared that one thing intimidates him.<\/p>\n

He explained, \u201cI fear the Lord. I know that I\u2019m going to be judged on what I do and where my heart is. If there is inequity in my heart, then I can\u2019t be rewarded for what I do. There\u2019s no fooling God, so I have to go do that work.\u201d He continued, \u201cThe way that I conduct and carry myself, whether publicly or behind closed doors, those are the things that I know I need to worry about, and so that\u2019s what keeps me focused.\u201d<\/p>\n
