First Lady Jeannette Kagame joined leaders at the US National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, DC, on February 6, where she led a prayer with a message of faith, unity, and peace. The First Lady prayed that the leaders have God’s “guidance and grace in this time of need.” “We ask for your powerful presence to shine brightly upon us, illuminating the path of consciousness, integrity, and spirituality,” she prayed. “You for carried us through storms, strengthened us in weakness, and lifting us in moments of despair.” Reflecting on the power of divine love, she added, “Today, we stand in awe of your love, which never fades and never abandons us. May it guide us to peace. As your word says: ‘Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.’ (Matthew 5:9)” Yesterday in Washington, First Lady Mrs Jeannette Kagame joined International Leaders at the USA National Prayer Breakfast, leading a prayer with a powerful message of faith, unity, and peace. “Father, for we know that true peace begins in our hearts.

May we be vessels of your light and hope.” She called upon God to help humanity rise above chaos and division and embrace unity and peace. “Help us to honor and respect the diversity of all beings, to celebrate the interconnectedness of all life. Grant us the wisdom to see beyond the surface, and to connect with our shared humanity.” As the gathering of leaders continued in prayer, she asked for divine guidance, saying, “Lord, You have entrusted us with the stewardship of your people. Help us protect those we serve and tirelessly nurture and embody the Godly values that Christ lived out as He walked this earth.” The US National Prayer Breakfast is an annual event held in Washington, D.C., typically on the first Thursday of February. Founded by Abraham Vereide in 1953, the event brings together leaders, friends, and attendees across the political spectrum for one purpose: prayer. US President Donald Trump called for Americans to “bring God back into our lives.” “I believe you can’t be happy without religion, without that belief,” Trump said. “Let’s bring religion back. Let’s bring God back into our lives.” He recalled his surviving an assassination attempt on him at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, saying, “It changed something in me, I feel. I feel even stronger. I believed in God, but now I feel much more strongly about it. Something happened.”
