'Go the extra mile': 'GMA' host Robin Roberts returns from week-long hiatus with heartfelt prayer

Robin Roberts' fans reacted to the heartfelt morning prayers with equally positive messages

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: As part of her Glam Fam morning prayers and thoughts, 'GMA’ host Robin Roberts made a comeback from her week-long hiatus on Tuesday with a lovely prayer. The 62-year-old host has been regularly sharing encouraging blessings that have consistently helped her followers start the day with positivity. 

In this edition of #TuesdayThoughts, Roberts discussed the pain of hardships and how one should not be afraid of taking a “step of faith.” Her followers responded to her Twitter video with equally positive thoughts and encouragement.

'Give this life as a ransom to many'

Unlike the usual schedule, Roberts was only able to share the Glam Fam video post her GMA shoot. She started off the video by explaining that she and the Glam Fam were too behind schedule to shoot the video. Despite the crazy schedule, Roberts made time for her followers to share thoughts on love and care.

“There are times when the almighty asks us to do things that are hard…It might be to give something to others when we need it more than they do, perhaps it is to take a step of faith when we don’t have the experience or to forgive someone when we believe they don’t deserve it,” Roberts read out from her phone, “God is asking you to go the extra mile.”

She suggested her viewers believe in His plan as “He is setting you up for promotion.” Comparing herself to the prayer, she said that they are committed to doing the morning prayer despite their exhaustion. The host was quite tired and mentioned so in the tweet as well. She ended the video with a very enthusiastic “Mama is going to bed!”

A positive exchange with fans

Several fans of Roberts’ shared their thoughts and messages in exchange for her lovely prayer. One Twitter user even got a response from the host. Their tweet said, “Good morning, Ms. Robin! You are such a trooper! I'll take this word back to ATL with me. As my mom always says, the MESSAGE is for the messenger FIRST. Get some rest.... DELIBERATELY. ❤️ #cmon #daword #churchofgma Oh. My vacation was LIT!”

Matching Roberts’ energy there are others who tweeted, “Thanks for going the extra distance and sharing this morning Robin. You nailed it. I appreciate your inspiration. Keep caring about others my friend.” Another user shared, “Never too late for the message & prayer & blessings from you Robin & Glamfam. We're sure your Sweet Amber will forgive you. Thank you for taking the time for us fans. Continued Blessings” 

Many appreciated Roberts’ kindness for sharing the blessings despite being tired, one of them being: “Thank you so much for taking the time out of your crazy day for the morning message & prayer. I know that it means so much to so many of us. Hoping to get a chance to say Good Morning in person this Thursday. Get some rest, you certainly deserve it.”

Several users wished that the host’s vacation which she took a break for went well, saying, “Welcome back Robin. Hope you have a great vacation. Hope you get plenty of rest”. Another user said, “Was going to stop being on Twitter, but thanks for those wise words and prayer Robin, you are a blessing to me.”
