Carey stated in 2006: "I do believe that I have been [[born again]] in a lot of ways. I think what I've changed are my priorities and my relationships with [[God in Christianity|God]]. I feel the difference when I don't have my private moments to pray... I'm a fighter, but I learned that I'm not in charge. Whatever God wants to happen is what's going to happen. I feel like I've had endless second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth chances. It's by the grace of God I'm still here."<ref name="wVmhp">{{cite magazine|title=Mariah Carey Testifies New Career Success Down to God|url=http://www.christiantoday.com/article/mariah.carey.testifies.new.career.success.down.to.god/7171.htm|magazine=[[Christianity Today]]|access-date=August 24, 2006|date=August 5, 2006|archive-date=March 21, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080321102424/http://www.christiantoday.com/article/mariah.carey.testifies.new.career.success.down.to.god/7171.htm|url-status=live}}</ref>
