House Concurrent Resolution No. 28, introduced by the State Affairs Committee, encourages the people of Idaho to observe March 1, 2026, as a day of fasting and prayer. The resolution highlights the current challenges facing both the state and the nation, including political violence, societal discord, and the pressing need for water due to insufficient snowfall and rainfall. It draws on historical precedents where American leaders have called for similar days of fasting and prayer during times of national crisis, emphasizing the importance of seeking divine guidance and intervention.

The resolution calls upon Idahoans to unite in humility and repentance, praying for peaceful resolutions to societal issues, for abundant moisture to replenish water supplies, and for wisdom among state and federal leaders. It aims to foster a spirit of unity and reconciliation among the people of Idaho, while also recognizing the tradition of prayer and fasting in the state’s history. The resolution directs the Chief Clerk of the House to share its message with the U.S. Congress, the Governor of Idaho, and relevant faith leaders and organizations throughout the state.
