Karoline Leavitt, Assistant to the President and the 36th White House Press Secretary, shared the powerful moment on social media, calling attention to the spiritual atmosphere within the room.
“Before the press were brought into the room,” Leavitt wrote, “[Secretary Scott Turner] led the President, Vice President, and entire Cabinet in a spontaneous and powerful prayer for the people of Texas.
“This was a truly beautiful moment.”
Here is the full prayer that Turner prayed over the President, the Cabinet and the people of Texas:
“Father, we’re humbled by your grace. We’re humbled by your mercy. Lord God, we surrender to you, Jesus. You are the great redeemer. And Lord, we thank you. I thank you for every man and woman around this table. Thank you for the president, Father, and his leadership. Uh Lord God, as we think about the families in Texas, Lord God, we don’t understand. We don’t know how to explain it. We don’t know why, but we know who. We know who to trust. And that’s you, Father. We thank you that you are God Almighty, that you are all powerful. And Lord God, we lift up the families that are mourning, that are grieving, those families that are hurting. Father God, we pray for a peace that surpasses all understanding. And your scripture says that Jesus, you said, ‘I’ll give you a peace, not the peace of the world, but the peace I give.’ And we pray, God, that you would give them a peace that in the midst of tragedy that they don’t even understand how they can be in comfort. And Lord God, we pray that uh as we work together as a cabinet, as a president, vice president in this administration, Father God, that you would give us all the tools that we need, Father God, to show up and to support, to help, to rebuild, and to restore. The Bible says in Isaiah, that we are the restorers of the breach and the repairers of the street. Father God, as we roll up our sleeves and pray for these people, God, we just pray right now for your favor and your grace. Thank you for the first responders and those that are working on the ground right now. Lord, we pray for miracle upon miracle. And Lord Jesus, those that are still there that are alive, Father, we pray you will help us to find them, Lord God, and bring them back to their families. We love you. We honor you in Jesus name. Amen.”
