Mark Wahlberg's daily prayer routine helps keep him on track, especially in his commitment to his family.

"I pray for the patience," he said. "I want to be an example, with my work ethic, with my commitment to my faith, with my commitment to my family. I've been put in this position for a reason, it's not to forget about where I came from. I have to utilize these talents and gifts that have been given to me to help others."

Like all of us, though Mark found faith many years ago, he admits he's a work in progress. As he's grown "older and wiser," he's come to regret some of the choices he's made in his younger years.

''I just always hope that God is a movie fan and also forgiving because I've made some poor choices in my past," he says.
