Gov. Rick Perry has proclaimed Saturday, Aug. 6th, as a Day of Prayer and Fasting for our Nation to seek God's guidance and wisdom in addressing the challenges that face our communities, states and nation. He has invited governors across the country to join him on Aug. 6th to participate in The Response, a non-denominational, apolitical, Christian prayer meeting hosted by the American Family Association at Reliant Stadium in Houston. Gov. Perry also urged fellow governors to issue similar proclamations encouraging their constituents to pray that day for unity and righteousness for our states, nation and mankind.

I believe you've lost me on that one...
Hopefully, many people are already praying. IMO, Perry calling for prayer on a certain day further reflects the desires of many Texans, and I would hope the same for people in other states as well...

If we humble ourselves and turn from our wicked ways, then pray, He will heal our land. After 9/11 there was a lot of prayer. No change of heart however.
My church had called a Mon night prayer meeting on September 10. We had an entirely different view of 9/11 than people that hadn't remembered the last time they touched God.

So, what was your entirely different view on 9/11, having touched God?

Gotcha. I just like the principle effort Perry is making for everyone, everywhere to seek God's direction and for His healing...
