Angela Simmons, the daughter of the rapper-turned-minister known as Rev. Run, is praising God during her pregnancy with the help of Hillsong Worship.

The 28-year-old star of the WE tv show "Growing Up Hip Hop" took a screenshot of the Hillsong Worship song, "Broken Vessels (Amazing Grace)" on her Instagram account.

"Morning Praises," Simmons captioned the screenshot of the song playing on her musical device.

Simmons has been outspoken about her Christian faith lately, and also tweeted a graphic image of Ephesians 3:20.

"The Lord will provide for you! #TrustInHim," Simmons captioned the image.

Aside from giving people a glimpse of her faith, Simmons has been documenting her pregnancy journey, which she initially revealed on her social media page last May.

"We are overjoyed and super excited to receive a blessing this big!" Simmons wrote previously wrote. "Starting a family was something that I could have only dreamed of."

While Simmons has not been vocal about who her fiance is, media outlets like Essence magazine revealed that she is engaged and expecting her first child with non-celebrity Sutton Tennyson. However, Simmons has been much more vocal about her Christian faith throughout the years.

"Well I think with religion, people are just judgmental off the bat. They feel like if you have a relationship with God and Jesus Christ, then you're not allowed to have any fun," she previously told Rolling Out. "I think that's just wrong when people judge others … especially when you're not supposed to judge anyway. But I deal with it all the time."

The television personality and entrepreneur has had to deal with people's disapproval of some of her revealing clothing choices. However, Simmons focuses more on her faith than her critics.

"People will come up to me and say 'Oh you shouldn't be wearing that skirt.' And I just say 'why not,'" she previously told Rolling Out. "I'm not doing it distastefully, and I'm not being disrespectful. I have my relationship with God, so therefore I don't feel like anyone should judge me. But it's life, and people are going to judge."

"There's so much controversy surrounding religion, so I just eat it," she said. "At this point, it is what it is, but I know who I am … and God knows my heart, so I don't take it any further."
