Filled with righteous indignation and overcome by the spirit of the Lord, Carrie Brooker said the longest opening prayer ever recorded on BYU campus, leaving no time for class. “If Cory Booker can do it for 25 hours, surely I can make a stand for my fellow students,” Brooker stated.

The astounding 50-minute prayer included the phrase “we’re thankful for this day” at least ten times, a recitation of Jacob 5, and even a request for God to provide the answers to the next test. 

“My favorite part of the prayer was when Carrie stopped to take questions from the class. I finally received the revelation I’ve been waiting for!” said fellow student Ansleigh White.

Professor Deviation, in a rare moment of emotional vulnerability, said, “After listening to Carrie pray that God would smite me for making the tests so hard, I can honestly say that God has truly touched my heart! I’m cancelling the final exam and quitting my job!”

The 50-minute prayer ended with a resounding “Amen” followed by a standing ovation from the whole class. Afterward, we interviewed a few of the students present. Those who stayed awake the entire time claimed that they saw a chorus of heavenly angels singing as the class came to a close.
