TV adventurer Bear Grylls has said he relies heavily on his faith as he does not feel he is strong enough on his own.
"I try to start every day by kneeling down and saying, 'Lord Jesus, I ain't got it all right, and I'm nervous about today," he told Radio Times.
"I will give it my all, but will you help me? It's never more complicated than that. I probably don't go to church enough, but my faith is a quiet, strong backbone in my life, and the glue to our family."
Grylls recently embarked on a once in a lifetime mission with US president Barack Obama at his side.
Obama is to venture into the Alaskan wilderness with Grylls for a television programme exploring the impact climate change is having on the environment.
Presidential escapades aside, Grylls also has a new ITV series up his adventurer sleeve.
Britain's Biggest Adventures will see him taking a journey of discovery around England.
Away from the limelight he says it took him a while to "summon up the courage" and talk publicly about his faith.
However, he did stress to Radio Times he has "no problem at all with gay marriage" and distinguishes between personal faith and wider religious doctrine.
"I really struggle with religion just because it's the source of so much conflict and disunity," he says, adding, "The heart of Christianity is just about saying, 'I need help, and will you be beside me?' And I don't think anyone has a problem with that."
"What they don't want is religion - and I totally get that."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
