Fox News on Sunday introduced Christian prayers that were sponsored by a Bible app.

"We have more Fox and Friends coming up, but you know what this is a transition for transitions if you've ever had one so so so Fox and Friends, this is very Fox and Friends, so ready your heart," Fox News host Pete Hegseth said on Sunday, segueing from a rant against TikTok.

"It's the 5th Sunday of Lent, and our prayer series continues with the reading of prayer from the Hallow app. We all need it, let's do it this morning, close your eyes — if you would bow your head," he continued.

The prayer began: "Jesus, today we begin the holy period of passion tide. In these last 2 weeks of Lent help us understand the mystery of your sacrifice and surrender, make us keenly aware of your love for us. We ask that you make yourself known to us, help us to feel the grace of your presence."

"It's a fire in us, the same sacrificial, selfless love selfless love you showed on the cross," Hegseth added. "Jesus we surrender ourselves to you, take care of everything. Thank you again to Hallow for this partnership."

"Amen," the hosts agreed.
