Governor Greg Abbott has issued a proclamation declaring Sunday, July 6, 2025, as a Day of Prayer in Texas in response to the devastating floods that swept through Central Texas and the Hill Country over the Fourth of July holiday weekend.
“Texans are known for their faith, strength, and resilience,” said Governor Abbott. “Even as floodwaters raged, neighbors rushed in to rescue, comfort, and bring hope. In times of loss, we turn to God for comfort, healing, and strength. I urge every Texan to join me in prayer this Sunday—for the lives lost, for those still missing, for the recovery of our communities, and for the safety of those on the front lines.”
See the full proclamation below:
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For healing of all who have been affected by this natural disaster.
- For safety of search and rescue teams and first responders.
- For rebuilding of communities and restoration of the region struck by this disaster.
- For state and federal officials as they continue to lead in rescue and recovery efforts.
