• The theme for this year’s National Prayer Breakfast, "Rise and Rebuild," serves as a profound call to action, urging the nation to confront its challenges with unity, resilience, and a renewed sense of purpose.

In a nation where faith and leadership often go hand in hand, Kenya's National Prayer Day stands as a powerful symbol of unity, reflection, and hope. Held annually, this solemn gathering brings together leaders from the political, religious, and social spectrum to seek divine guidance for the country.

This year, the 22nd Annual National Prayer Day took place at the Safari Park Hotel in Nairobi, marking a departure from the tradition of holding the event on the last Thursday of May.

President William Ruto presided over the event as the chief guest, joined by Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula, Senate Speaker Amason Kingi, Cabinet secretaries, and over 2,000 national leaders.

Furthermore, Ruto has added that to sustain the momentum, Kenyans must work together and build bridges that will enable more equality, inclusivity and more prosperity.

"Rise and Rebuild" is more than a motto; it is a call for all Kenyans to engage in the nation's renewal, emphasizing unity, ethical leadership, and collective responsibility in shaping a prosperous future.

As the saying goes, "A family that prays together stays together." This day not only reunites us but also encourages moral and ethical leadership.

The event strengthens faith across communities, celebrating Kenya's rich religious diversity. The interfaith nature of the gathering, which includes Christians, Muslims, Hindus, and others, reinforces religious tolerance and mutual respect.

It inspires hope in a country facing unemployment, corruption, and inequality, providing a moment for people to pause, pray, and believe in the possibility of transformation—both personal and national.

Held at a time when political tensions often rise, National Prayer Day helps ease tensions and opens channels for peaceful dialogue. It reminds leaders and citizens alike of their shared identity as Kenyans. Ultimately, let us commit our country to God so that all will be well.
