  • Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Remarks at the National Prayer
    Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast February 4, 2016 The President. Thank you. You're very kind. Thank you very much. Well, good morning. Audience members. Good morning. The President. Giving all praise and honor to God for bringing us together here this morning. I want to thank everyone who helped organize this breakfast, especially our cochairs, Robert and Juan, who embody the tradition of friendship, fellowship, and prayer. I will begin with a confession: I have always felt a tinge of guilt motorcading up here at the heart of DC's rush hour. [Laughter] I suspect that not all the commuters were blessing me as they waited to get to work. [Laughter] But it's for a good cause. A National Prayer Brunch doesn't have the same ring to it. [Laughter] And Michelle and I are extremely honored, as always, to be with so many friends, with Members of Congress, with faith leaders from across the country and around the world, to be with the Speaker, Leader. I want thank Mark and Roma for their friendship and their extraordinary story and sharing those inspiring words; Andrea, for sharing his remarkable gifts. And on this occasion, I always enjoy reflecting on a piece of scripture that's been meaningful to me or otherwise sustained me throughout the year. And lately, I've been thinking and praying on a verse from Second Timothy: "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
