Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has issued a proclamation. Sunday, September 3, 2017, will be a “Day of Prayer” in Texas. He requested that the people from all denominations pray for the safety of first responders, public safety officers and military personnel, as well as for the “healing of individuals, rebuilding of communities and the restoration of the entire region struck by this disaster.”

Could it be related as well to a diminished number of individual prayer warriors? Does it take a hurricane to bring us face-to-face with our weakness?
