President Donald Trump has proclaimed Sunday, Sept. 3, as a National Day of Prayer for the victims of Hurricane Harvey and for the national response and recovery efforts.

“From the beginning of our nation, Americans have joined together in prayer during times of great need to ask for God’s blessing and God’s guidance,” Trump said at a meeting with faith leaders at the White House on Friday.
