Summer Walker released her new album Still Over It on Friday and fans can't get over the last song on the project, titled "Ciara's Prayer." Ciara lent her voice for the final track, and she finally gave fans the prayer she used to pull her husband Russell Wilson. The internet went up in flames on Friday morning as everyone shared their hilarious and relatable reactions to the song.

A common misconception about the long-rumored prayer was that the singer simply prayed for a man to love, but as this user points out, that’s not all the prayer was about. It was also a call to remember her worth and start moving accordingly.

I love that Ciara’s prayer is more about loving herself & knowing her worth instead of begging for a man. Yea we needed that.

One person summed up how the rest of the single people felt when they heard the prayer, saying that they’re going to memorize it because they can’t go on like this.

I'll have Ciara's Prayer memorized by Monday. This my last week living like this

God’s voicemail box might be full after the people got ahold of Ciara’s prayer, one person joked.

Ari, rapper MoneyBagg Yo's girlfriend, commended Walker for choosing the prayer as the final song on her new album.

Ciara’s prayer was a perfect way to end the album. ❤️

As one person eloquently pointed out, the “genuine” message she put up to a higher power was also about her growth as a woman.

‘Ciara’s Prayer’ is beautiful and genuine. When you compare Russell to her exes like 50 Cent, Future, Bow Wow there is a huge difference. Sis said she was ready to accept better and so she did. She said she wanted someone that’s intentional, and that’s what she got. #StillOverIt
