Actor and comedian Tracy Morgan says God spoke to him while he was in a coma after suffering a severe car accident.

Morgan returned to Saturday Night Live at the end of  October, and according to Charisma News, he is crediting his survival to the fact that God still has work for him to do.

Morgan recently revealed to Complex magazine how God spoke to him while he was in a coma.

"You don't die for a few weeks and then come back to normal, trust me," Morgan says. "Something's going to be missing, something's going to be gained—you just got to live your life after that. But after surviving something like that, I'm probably never going to feel normal. I went to the other side. This is not something I'm making up." 

Thousands of fans and Morgan’s fellow celebrities prayed for his recovery. Some even created the hashtag #prayfortracymorgan.

Morgan says he believes God allowed him to recover because there is more he needs to accomplish here on earth.

"Do you know what God said to me?" Morgan asked. "He said, 'Your room ain't ready. I still got something for you to do.'"
