Yes
I will.
No
I won’t.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly spoken about prayer, religious faith and the role he believes both can play in American public life.
With conflicts and international tensions continuing to concern Americans, Trump’s call for people to pray for peace brings an issue that stretches beyond traditional partisan politics directly to voters: What role should prayer and faith play during uncertain times?
Trump has made prayer a visible part of his second administration. In September 2025, the president announced the “America Prays” initiative, inviting Americans and faith communities to pray for the United States, its people and peace around the world as the nation approached its 250th anniversary. During those remarks, Trump described America as a country with a longstanding belief in the power of prayer.
For millions of Americans, prayer remains an important part of everyday life. Some pray for their families, communities and elected leaders. Others pray specifically for peace, members of the military, innocent civilians caught in conflicts and leaders responsible for making decisions that could determine whether fighting continues or ends.
Americans also hold a wide range of religious beliefs. Some practice Christianity, Judaism, Islam or another faith tradition, while others do not follow a particular religion. That diversity has long been part of the American experience and means a presidential call for prayer can produce very different reactions.
Supporters of Trump’s message may view prayer as a way for Americans to come together despite political disagreements and ask for wisdom and peace during difficult circumstances. Others may believe matters of religion are deeply personal and that individual Americans should decide for themselves whether and how they pray.
Either way, the president’s message puts a simple question before the public at a time when international peace remains an important concern.
This poll is not about political party membership or determining how anyone should practice their faith. It is simply an opportunity for readers to say whether they personally plan to answer Trump’s call.
So where do you stand?
