Pop singer Justin Bieber joined Pastor John Gray in leading a number of celebrities in prayer during a relief telethon for recent hurricanes Harvey and Irma, reminding attendees that God “will guide us through the storm.”
On Tuesday night, Bieber took the stage at the Hand in Hand: A Benefit For Hurricane Harvey and Irma Relief telethon to introduce a prayer.
Flanked by Pastor John Gray, Rabbi Ari Lukas, and Jihad Turk, Bieber encouraged viewers to give to the cause before praying. “We don’t just want you guys to watch,” he said. “We want you to be a part of this and donate whatever you can.”
Gray, the associate pastor of Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas, then prayed: “God, we the faith community come asking for wisdom, discernment and compassion as we walk alongside those who have lost so much, loved ones, homes, businesses, and hope. Cause us to be the hands and feet of compassion to all who are in need, no matter their background.”
He added, “At a time of great division in our nation, may we lay down our differences and pick up our common humanity, the sole purpose of serving our fellow man until hearts are healed and hearts are restored. Though we don’t yet understand the purpose of the storm, we know you will guide us through the storm.”
