Recognizing the public need for fasting and prayer in order to secure the blessings and protection of Providence for the people of the United States and our Armed Forces during the conflict in Iraq and under the threat of terrorism at home.

Declares the sense of the House of Representatives that the President should issue a proclamation: (1) designating a day for humility, prayer, and fasting for all people of the United States; and (2) calling on all people of the United States to observe the day as a time of prayer and fasting, seek guidance from God to achieve a greater understanding of our own failings and to learn how we can do better in our everyday activities, and gain resolve in meeting the challenges that confront our Nation.
