Prayer remains important to many people, and Rachel Ruto has publicly described herself as an intercessor as he implored women to pray.

Rachel opened up about a heartwarming and remarkable story that divided opinion among Kenyans as she encouraged people to continue praying for the nation.

She was speaking during the 2026 National Prayer Breakfast Women’s Convocation in Nairobi county, an event attended by high-profile women.

She encouraged women not to stop interceding for the nation, their children and even the world during challenging economic times.

“I want all of us to stand up and pray, pray for this nation, pray for the women and men of this nation and East Africa. Pray for the world. People are crying out there. Let’s pray for our mothers in the villages. Let’s pray for our young people, our children, and those who have given up,” she said.

When did Rachel Ruto pray for the barren woman?

The First Lady also addressed women who had not yet had children, saying she felt burdened to pray for them.

Rachel said she was moved to pray for childless women and narrated a story of a woman from Bungoma who later testified about receiving her prayers.

“Let’s pray for those who have not yet been blessed with the fruit of the womb. Yes, we have seen, we have heard, we have witnessed, and I don’t want to embarrass anybody, but if you’re here, hold on where you are seated and believe God. I was at home in my village and visited a shopping centre, where a lady approached me.

She told me, ‘You don’t know how God used you to bless me.’ She said that in 2012 she was childless and people had laughed at her, but I had come to Bungoma for a women’s meeting. It was actually about women’s economic empowerment, but I usually pray. She said I called forward women who did not have children. She came to the front, I prayed for her, and later God blessed her with twins,” she narrated.
