Encourages Idahoans to voluntarily observe March 1, 2026, as a day of fasting and prayer to seek peaceful resolutions to challenges facing the state and nation, including violence, protests, and societal discord.

Calls for prayers requesting snow and rain to replenish Idaho's water supplies, citing low moisture conditions during the winter of 2026 that have left lands "parched and waters diminished."

Requests prayers for wisdom for state and federal leaders in their decision-making, guided by justice, compassion, and unity.

Cites historical precedent including 15 Continental Congress proclamations for fasting and prayer (1775-1784), similar proclamations by Presidents Washington, Adams, Madison, Buchanan, and Lincoln, and the congressionally established National Day of Prayer (1952).

Directs the Chief Clerk of the House to forward copies of the resolution to the U.S. Congress, the Governor of Idaho, and faith leaders and organizations throughout the state.
