"Everytime I take a shower I always sit down and I pray" - Ryan Lochte on his faith in God

Ryan Lochte expressed his faith in God and how he wished to talk to God.

The former swimmer shared a video, where he spoke about his beliefs and the fact that he visits the church with his family recently.

"It's been boiling in my mind and I just...and I've never done this before because we've always been told like you are an athlete, like you are all this, you'll be very wrong for you to talk about politics or about religion or about things like that coz PPL might get offended or anything like that. so I never did. I always stayed away from those kind of questions or anything or talking about that throughout my whole life" Lochte wrote on Instagram.

"Now it's been boiling in my head and c...this is gonna be hard for me. Recently me and the family have been going to church and my whole entire life I've believed in God. I believe in God but I need that extra 5% to really be like, 'Yup, God'. Like if a I'm driving down the street and I say 'I want every green light for the rest of the way home.. please God', and it happens," he added.

"That one, like little 5% that might give like, "You know what, I am sold. I'm one thousand million percent right there," he said.

Lochte also said that he prays while taking a shower and always asks God to talk to him.

"I take a lot of shower because I love water and everytime I take a shower I always sit down and I pray. I pray for my family, I pray for my friends, I pray for everyone in this world and I always say 'God please call on me, talk to me, let me know, let me get that 5%'", he said.
