President Bush on Thursday sought to assure victims of Hurricane Katrina (search) that his administration was working around the clock to meet their needs, and asked Americans across the country to pray for the effort.
"I've declared Friday, Sept. 16, a national day of prayer and remembrance," Bush said in a televised afternoon address. "I ask that we pray as Americans have always prayed in times of trial, with hope for a better future and with the humility to ask God to keep us strong so we can better serve our brothers and sisters in need."
Here are some prayer points posted by the Christian Emergency Network (www.centoday.com)
PRAYER POINTS
As people begin to come back into their devastated properties on the Gulf Coast for the first time, pray that they would seek the Lord for strength and help to rebuild their lives.
Pray for great wisdom for officials who now have to deal with the “sludge” and toxic remnants.
The Port of New Orleans, shut down for more than two weeks because of Hurricane Katrina, is slowly resuming operations. Pray that recovery in this 5th largest port in the U.S. would go better than anticipated.
Pray for the resettlement efforts in cities all across our country. Pray that those being resettled would hear a clear Gospel message and come to saving faith in Christ.
It is now estimated that over 370,000 school children have been displaced from classrooms in Louisiana and Mississippi. Pray for peace for these children as they adjust to new surroundings. Pray for the teachers, and administrators who will have these displaced children in their classrooms, adding additional stress.
As the water levels go down, and yet more bodies are found, pray for physical and emotional safety for those dealing with this grim task.
Pray that as the “flaws in the system” are looked at, that wisdom would prevail, and not rhetoric that further divides our country.
Continue to pray for strength for relief workers, for police and fire personnel as they work long grueling hours.
Pray for strength, vision and endurance for relief agencies. The short term relief is ramping us, but this disaster requires long-term commitment and persistence.
Pray for the Churches and agencies in the devastated areas to come together in unity, and to have a new vision for the rebuilding of the affected areas; and that Churches be able to work together in mutual esteem, humility, and unity to minister to those in need.
Pray that stories of God’s love, protection and grace would touch many hearts as they are told through the media. (Prayer points from Christian Emergency Network, www.centoday.com)
