HOUSTON

PEACE BE STILL . . .














“The earth is the LORD’s and the fullness thereof, the world and everybody in it.” No body, “BUT GOD,” can quiet the storms and stop the rains.









ACKNOWLEDGE HIM









1 Thessalonians 5:17-18 17 Pray without ceasing,




18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.









THANK HIM for sparing your lives in the midst of the storm: For the dead can neither Thank Him, nor Praise Him.














Heavenly FATHER, Righteous in all of Thy ways; there is none above Thee. We forsake all pride, arrogance, and unrighteousness in asking and begging Thee to have mercy upon us. Thank You for Your unsurpassed mercy by which You have spared the multitudes. We humbly beseech You, that by the strength and power of Your own arm: quiet the storm, calm the winds, stop the rains, and dry up the flood waters. LORD, we confess our unworthiness in Your sight, yet we believe that, nothing is too hard for You, so then, from Rockport to Louisiana, and indeed throughout its path, we ask that You, shut up the mouth of the tempest that You sent among us, and make all things new again. It is in the precious name of JESUS, alone, that we pray. Amen.









Praise Him in advance for the EXTRA!!!!

THANK YOU JESUS!!!​

Commentary: Great job Mayor Turner! I can’t even imagine the carnage (trapped in cars all along Houston’s many freeways), that would have resulted from an attempted mass exodus from a city the size of Houston. What a horrendous sight that would have been. How blessed you are to have waited for God to send those, who were most capable and properly equipped, to rescue you. DON’T COMPLAIN!!!!! Thank God for the leadership He appointed you for such a time as this.









Don’t ever take His grace and mercy for granted. Look back through the years, He has brought you through, so many times . . . Just Know that you are. . .




Blessed and Highly Favored









I LOVE YOU HOUSTON!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

September 1, 2017


NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER FOR THE VICTIMS OF HURRICANE HARVEY AND FOR OUR NATIONAL RESPONSE AND RECOVERY EFFORTS


- - - - - - -


BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA


A PROCLAMATION


Hurricane Harvey first made landfall as a Category 4 storm near Rockport, Texas, on the evening of August 25, 2017. The storm has since devastated communities in both Texas and Louisiana, claiming many lives, inflicting countless injuries, destroying or damaging tens of thousands of homes, and causing billions of dollars in damage. The entire Nation grieves with Texas and Louisiana. We are deeply grateful for those performing acts of service, and we pray for healing and comfort for those in need.


Americans have always come to the aid of their fellow countrymen -- friend helping friend, neighbor helping neighbor, and stranger helping stranger -- and we vow to do so in response to Hurricane Harvey. From the beginning of our Nation, Americans have joined together in prayer during times of great need, to ask for God's blessings and guidance. This tradition dates to June 12, 1775, when the Continental Congress proclaimed a day of prayer following the Battles of Lexington and Concord, and April 30, 1789, when President George Washington, during the Nation's first Presidential inauguration, asked Americans to pray for God's protection and favor.


When we look across Texas and Louisiana, we see the American spirit of service embodied by countless men and women. Brave first responders have rescued those stranded in drowning cars and rising water. Families have given food and shelter to those in need. Houses of worship have organized efforts to clean up communities and repair damaged homes. Individuals of every background are striving for the same goal -- to aid and comfort people facing devastating losses. As Americans, we know that no challenge is too great for us to overcome.


As response and recovery efforts continue, and as Americans provide much needed relief to the people of Texas and Louisiana, we are reminded of Scripture's promise that "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." Melania and I are grateful to everyone devoting time, effort, and resources to the ongoing response, recovery, and rebuilding efforts. 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.


NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim September 3, 2017, as a National Day of Prayer for the Victims of Hurricane Harvey and for our National Response and Recovery Efforts. We give thanks for the generosity and goodness of all those who have responded to the needs of their fellow Americans. 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. Each of us, in our own way, may call upon our God for strength and comfort during this difficult time. I call on all Americans and houses of worship throughout the Nation to join in one voice of prayer, as we seek to uplift one another and assist those suffering from the consequences of this terrible storm.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of September, in the year of our Lord two thousand seventeen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-second.


DONALD J. TRUMP
