White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt recently shared a heartfelt moment before a press briefing, giving a glimpse into her preparation routine. Margo Martin, a communications adviser at the White House, posted a video on social media showing Leavitt pausing outside the briefing room to pray. This moment was captured just before she faced a room full of reporters.
In the video, Leavitt is seen bowing her head in prayer, asking for wisdom and strength. She said, “Lord Jesus, please give us the strength, the knowledge, the ability to articulate our words, have fun, and be confident, in Jesus’ name, amen.” This personal ritual has become a regular part of her routine before addressing the press.
The video quickly gained attention online, with reactions pouring in from various supporters. Rachel Campos-Duffy, a host on "Fox & Friends: Weekend," expressed her approval, saying, “More of this! I love it.” Representative Mary Miller from Illinois also praised Leavitt’s actions, calling her a “courageous God-fearing woman.”
Leavitt’s commitment to prayer before her briefings is not just a one-time event. In a recent interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network, she explained that this practice helps her reset and gather her thoughts. She emphasized the importance of faith in her demanding role, especially given the public scrutiny that comes with being in the spotlight. “With faith, all things are possible,” she said, highlighting how her beliefs support her in challenging times.
This moment of prayer reflects a growing trend among some public figures who openly express their faith in their professional lives. As Leavitt continues her work as Press Secretary, her actions resonate with many who appreciate the intersection of faith and leadership in today’s political landscape.
