'Blessed Is the Nation Whose God Is the Lord': First Trump Cabinet Meeting Opens with Prayer"...Father we pray You'll give the President, and Vice President wisdom as they lead. Father I pray for all of our colleagues that are here around the table and in this room; Lord God we pray that we would lead with a righteous clarity ... as we serve the people of this country, every prospective agency, in every job that we have, that we would humble ourselves before You..." -Scott Turner, HUD Secretary
Scott Turner, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, led Trump's new team in an opening invocation. "Father the Bible says that blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, Father today we honor You in Your rightful place and thank You for giving us this opportunity to restore faith in this country and be a blessing to the people of America, and we pray in our meeting that You would be glorified in our conversation. In Jesus name, Amen," Turner prayed as the group responded with "Amen." Watch the video of that prayer Here. While prayer moments were also a visible part of President Trump's first term, he said earlier this month that he's had a deeper realization about God since he was nearly killed by a would-be assassin's bullets during a campaign rally in Butler, PA last summer. "None of us knows exactly when our time on earth will be over," Trump told those gathered at the National Prayer Breakfast. "You never know—a truth I confronted a few short months ago when there was an incident that ... was not fun." The president has frequently said he believes the Lord saved him that day. "God was watching me," Trump said. "It changed something in me," he said. "I feel even stronger. I believed in God, but I feel much more strongly about it. Something happened." MORE 'It Changed Something in Me': Trump Admits Attempted Assassination Transformed His Belief in God After the Cabinet meeting's opening prayer, Trump then gave the floor to Elon Musk to talk about the DOGE efforts. He attempted to clear up some of the recent drama about emails to federal workers. "What we are trying to get to the bottom of is we think there are a number of people on the government payroll who are dead, which is probably why they can't respond, and some people who are not real people and just like fictional individuals... some collecting paychecks... so we are literally just trying to figure out are these people real? Are they alive? And can they write an email?" Musk explained. One million workers have responded to the email, about half the number of federal workers. Trump said those who did not respond "are on the bubble" and might be let go. The White House also instructed federal agencies to begin planning to eliminate positions calling it a "reduction in force." Agency leaders have to submit their plans by March 13.
