President Donald Trump is declaring Sunday a National Day of Prayer for victims of Hurricane Harvey and "for those suffering in this time of crisis."
In proclaiming Sept. 3 a "National Day of Prayer for the Victims of Hurricane Harvey and for our National Response and Recovery Efforts, the president noted that from the nation's beginning, "Americans have joined together in prayer during times of great need, to ask for God's blessings and guidance."
"We invite all Americans to join us as we continue to pray for those who have lost family members or friends, and for those who are suffering in this time of crisis," his proclamation stated.
"I urge Americans of all faiths and religious traditions and backgrounds to offer prayers today for all those harmed by Hurricane Harvey, including people who have lost family members or been injured, those who have lost homes or other property, and our first responders, law enforcement officers, military personnel and medical professionals leading the response and recovery efforts."
