Hi,
I am sure you will find this interesting in light of the age of unbelief we
are living in.

> Prayer for those affected by natural disasters
>
>
>
> Across the nation these past several weeks, we have seen a number of
> natural
> disasters (tornadoes in North Carolina, Indiana, Florida, etc.; fires in
> Texas, California, Oklahoma, etc.; intense storms and floods in Tennessee,
> New York, New Jersey, etc.). We want to ask everyone to continue to pray
> for
> all of those impacted by these disasters and also wanted to share a
> proclamation issued today by the Governor of Texas, Rick Perry. Because of
> the overwhelming fires in Texas, he's calling for a weekend of prayer for
> rain beginning tomorrow, Friday, April 22, through Sunday, April 24.
>
> We are including a copy of the proclamation below, as well as the text
> under
> that. If you are in Texas, please consider taking this proclamation to
> your
> house of worship this weekend and asking your pastor and congregation to
> join in prayer. If you're not in Texas, please join your fellow citizens
> across the country in praying for these disasters.

> Proclamation
>
> By The
>
> Governor of the State of Texas
>
>
> To all to whom these presents shall come:
>
> Whereas, the state of Texas is in the midst of an exceptional drought,
> with
> some parts of the state receiving no significant rainfall for almost three
> months, matching rainfall deficit records dating back to the 1930s; and
>
> Whereas, a combination of higher than normal temperatures, low
> precipitation
> and low relative humidity has cause an extreme fire danger over most of
> the
> State, sparking more than 8,000 wildfires which have cost several lives,
> engulfed more than 1.8 million acres of land and destroyed almost 400
> homes,
> causing me to issue an ongoing disaster declaration since December of last
> year; and
>
> Whereas, these dire conditions have caused agricultural crops to fail,
> lake
> and reservoir levels to fall and cattle and livestock to struggle under
> intense stress, imposing a tremendous financial and emotional toll on our
> land and our people; and
>
> Whereas, throughout our history, both as a state and as individuals,
> Texans
> have been strengthened, assured and lifted up through prayer; it seems
> right
> and fitting that the people of Texas should join together in prayer to
> humbly seek an end to this devastating drought and these dangerous
> wildfires;
>
> Now, therefore, I, Rick Perry, Governor of Texas, under the authority
> vested
> in me by the Constitution of Statutes of the State of Texas, do hereby
> proclaim the three-day period from Friday, April 22, 2011, to Sunday,
> April
> 24, 2011, as Days of Prayer for Rain in the State of Texas. I urge Texans
> of
> all faiths and traditions to offer prayers on those days for the healing
> of
> our land, the rebuilding of our communities and the restoration of our
> normal way of life in Texas.
>
> In testimony whereof, I have hereunto signed my name and have officially
> caused the Seal of State to be affixed at my Office in the City of Austin,
> Texas, this the 20th day of April, 2011.

> Rick Perry
> Governor of Texas
