In a quiet but unmistakable gesture, Donald Trump sent a handwritten prayer to Jerusalem’s Western Wall this week, asking simply: “For Peace in Israel.” The moment was captured in a report from The Times UK, and it wasn’t a campaign stunt or diplomatic posturing. No cameras. No podium. Just a folded note slipped between the stones—where world headlines meet holy ground.
The note was delivered by newly appointed U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee, who called it “a beautiful prayer” and emphasized that “the president wanted to send it. It was all his idea. Just a message of peace, asking God to watch over Israel.”
“It was a personal prayer,” Huckabee added. “And to me, that’s what makes it so meaningful. It wasn’t political theater. It was genuine.”
As Israel faces continued threats from Iran, Hezbollah, and growing unrest at its borders, the timing of the note is notable. “This prayer matters more than any political speech or summit,” Huckabee said. “This is the kind of leadership the world needs.”
The symbolism of the moment shouldn’t be missed. Trump’s quiet appeal came at a time when, as written in Zechariah 12:3, “On that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. All who lift it will surely hurt themselves. And all the nations of the earth will gather against it.” This wasn’t political theater—it was a prayer left in the very city prophecy says will one day strain the whole world. The Word of God says, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! ‘May they be secure who love you!’” (Psalm 122:6) It’s a beautiful thing to see our President taking the Bible seriously.
