Boise–On Friday, the Idaho legislature passed a concurrent resolution calling for a day of fasting and prayer “to seek peaceful resolutions to the challenges facing the state and nation, to pray for snow and rain for Idaho’s water supplies, and to pray for wise decision-making by state and federal leaders.”
The resolution highlights concerns over escalating political unrest at the national and state levels, as well as the state’s lack of needed moisture. It cites historic and modern precedent for governments to call on their citizens to seek divine intervention in times of national and state distress, and closes with an invitation to Idahoans “to observe March 1, 2026, as a day of fasting and prayer, voluntarily uniting in a spirit of profound humility and repentance.”
The full text of the resolution, HCR28, can be read here. Concurrent resolutions do not require the governor’s signature.
