Blanco asks for day of prayer Wednesday

   Tuesday, August 30, 2005

Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco has asked for a day of prayer on Wednesday.
The text of her request follows:

"As we face the devastation wrought by Katrina, as we search for those in
need, as we comfort those in pain and as we begin the long task of
rebuilding, we turn to God for strength, hope and comfort.

I have declared Aug. 31, 2005, a Day of Prayer in the State of Louisiana.

I am asking that all of Louisiana take some time Wednesday to pray. Pray
for the victims and the rescuers. Please pray that God give us all the
physical and spiritual strength to work through this crisis and rebuild.

Please pray for patience for those anxiously waiting to hear from family
members or to get word about their homes. Pray for the safety of our
hard-working rescuers and those they are bringing to safety.

I know, by praying together on Wednesday, that we can pull together and
draw strength we need; strength, that only God can give us.

In my prayers, I will also thank God for the strong and resilient people of
this state and how they are working to meet this challenge."
