Trump declares national day of prayer, following Abbott's lead in Texas

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump declared a national day of prayer on Sunday as the Gulf Coast reels from Hurricane Harvey, following the lead of Texas, where on Thursday, Gov. Greg Abbott declared Sunday a day of prayer.

"We invite all Americans to join us as we continue to pray for those who have lost family members and friends, and for those who are suffering from this great crisis," the president said in the Oval Office, where he met and prayed with pastors from around the country.

Robert Jeffress, senior pastor at First Baptist Church in Dallas, was among the clergy who prayed with Trump in the Oval Office on Friday.

"From the beginning of our nation, Americans have joined together in prayer during times of great need to ask for God's blessing and God's guidance. When we look across Texas and Louisiana, we see the American spirit of service embodied by countless men and women," Trump said in the Oval Office, flanked by religious leaders.

"Families have given food and shelter to those in need. Houses of worship have organized efforts to clean up communities and repair damaged homes. People have never seen anything quite like this. Individuals of every background are striving for the same goal: to aid and comfort people facing devastating losses."

[Straw Man]

Yes, if we all pray at the same time then god won't be able to ignore us

what shall we pray for?

maybe a faster rate of evaporation?

Another genius retort

Problem is that Trump has so miserably failed at projecting sincerity, so often, that it has taken away the impact this could've had.

what are you going to pray for .

I think we need to all pray for the same thing or god will get confused

Too bad no one thought about praying as their homes were being flooded this week

Last resort for this admin.

In that picture Bum posted I'm sure Trump is either praying for someone to bring him a Taco Bowl or for Mueller to have a heart attack

Who said there was no one praying as their home were being flooded? Are you trying to say that before the storm even hit and people knew the potential danger that prayers were not sent for the safety of those in the storms path?

Said the increasingly nervous individual for the 7th time this year.

I will pray for a speedy recovery and that the new storm Emma dosen't hit the USA.

Nothing wrong with a little prayer.

I'm not sold that Trump is sincere in the meaning, but I suppose it doesn't matter, as long as everyone else is.
