Trump calls his near-death in Butler a miracle of Providence. The same divine hand, echoed through Charlie Kirk’s faith and Zionist conviction, points America back to its Judeo-Christian roots and Israel’s eternal message of prayer, resilience, and redemption.
President Donald Trump often says “the hand of Providence” saved his life in Butler, Pennsylvania, when an assassin’s bullet grazed his ear instead of piercing his skull. A split-second turn spared him—an act millions of Americans, Jews and Christians alike, call nothing short of a miracle.
Do we believe in miracles?
Yes. America itself is a miracle.
Founded on Judeo-Christian values, the nation carries Hebrew scripture in its DNA. The Liberty Bell still proclaims from Leviticus 25:10: “Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof.”
From President John Adams—who declared the Jews “the most glorious nation that ever inhabited the earth”—to FDR signing his Fireside Chats with “So help us God”, America’s leaders anchored their vision on faith.
But who saves America when it falters? Who rescues the colossus when division breeds violence—when a rising leader like Charlie Kirk is assassinated?
Kirk, just 31, embodied a new generation of believers. He was proudly Christian, a Zionist, and unafraid to challenge both audiences and antisemitic hecklers. Like Abraham Lincoln, he wasn’t college-bred. He didn’t need elite credentials—he lived conviction.
Kirk’s life, short yet luminous, echoes King David’s Psalms—timeless words born in Jerusalem, carried across Jewish and Christian liturgy alike. As David wrote of injustice, betrayal, pain, and hope, so too do Americans feel today.
Eighty percent of Judeo-Christian prayer draws from David’s Psalms. Kirk himself often turned to Psalm 46: “God is our refuge.”
The lesson is clear: America must return to prayer. Too big to fail? No nation is too big to pray.
And as always, Israel remains the moral compass. The Psalms invite the broken-hearted, the betrayed, the weary. There is refuge, redemption, and resolve.
In honoring Charlie Kirk’s faith and Trump’s miracle, America must rediscover the spiritual strength that has always been its foundation.
