President Trump announced that the United States will hold a nationwide prayer gathering on May 17, 2026, aimed at rededicating the country to God. Speaking publicly, he said Americans from across the nation will be invited to gather on the National Mall “to pray, to give thanks,” and declared, “We’re going to rededicate America as one nation under God.”
Trump described the announcement as part of a broader spiritual renewal he says is unfolding across the country. “I’ve never seen anything like it in one year,” he said, noting that what he expected to take several years has happened in roughly a single year. He linked the nation’s momentum and success to spiritual revival, saying, “There’s such great spirit. It’s all spirit, and it includes religion.”
Emphasizing faith as foundational to national strength and personal conduct, Trump said, “You just can’t have a great country if you don’t have religion.” He added that belief gives meaning and accountability to life and leadership, remarking, “You have to believe in something… there has to be a reason for it.”
The planned May 17 gathering is framed as a public expression of faith and gratitude, with Trump presenting it as a defining moment to reaffirm America’s identity as “one nation under God.”
