“I try to start the day on my knees. I just get down on the floor next to the bed. My grandpa used to do that, and I always loved it. It’s a way to remind me to be grateful, to say sorry and to ask for help. It’s my way to survive the day really.”

—Bear Grylls, TV host and adventurer

“I would wake up early, sit in my dad’s old green leather chair, have my coffee with my Bible and my journal and spend a few moments in reflection and prayer.

—Savannah Guthrie, Today show co-anchor

“A barber’s chair is a great place to pray—as long as you can trust your barber with your hair while you’re working on trusting God!”
