“Even as darkness fell and the waters kept rising, emergency officials in Houston continued fielding calls overnight from flood-stranded Texans. Thousands have been rescued so far, many are still waiting to picked up.
“The Coast Guard is continuing to receive upwards of 1,000 calls per hour,” US Coast Guard Lt. Mike Hart said Monday. “Today alone, the Coast Guard has rescued over 3,000 people. That includes both air rescues and rescues using boats.”
Since midnight Sunday, more than 2,300 calls have poured in to the Houston Fire Department, including 400 calls for rescue Monday afternoon, Houston officials said. Four people have died as a result of the catastrophic storm….
“They’re making it difficult for us to rescue them,” he said. “You have people rushing the boat. Everyone wants to get in at the same time. They’re panicking. Water is rising.”
Because of the hostile responses, the Cajun Navy has been forced to halt some rescue attempts, Cain said.
And yet, forecasters say, more rain is coming. Lots more.
President pledges ‘rapid action from Congress’
President Trump said Monday the recovery from Hurricane Harvey will be “a long and difficult road,” but predicted the country would emerge “bigger, better, stronger than ever before.”
Calling the storm a catastrophe in Southeast Texas, the President said, “We see neighbor helping neighbor, friend helping friend and stranger helping stranger. We are one American family. We hurt together, we struggle together and believe me, we endure together.”
The President also said he believes Congress will act fast to provide disaster relief funding to the areas affected by Harvey.
“You’re going to see very rapid action from Congress — certainly from the President,” Trump said….

Lord, I thank you for raising up people to come to rescue flood victims, We ask you to send more as there is now a mandatory evacuation in effect. Lord, I Praise you that our President has made this a day of National Prayer for Texas and it’s wounded cities. Praise you Lord, I thank you for those spiritual leaders that are in a 40 day fast. Lord, cause our hearts to turn to the God who takes all trials and turns them around for good to those who are in Christ Jesus. Continue to send your ministered into the shelter to sing of your Redeeming Love. Bind the deception and sin that keeps many from knowing you as Savior and Lord, i release them to hear and understand the gospel and repent. Help your church to repent of worldliness so we can be the light we are called to be. We pray for Beaumont that is without water, we pray for those who are in danger of disease. Praise you Lord, even in this storm, you are worthy of our praise. Help your children in Texas to have unshakable faith. In Jesus name, Amen
Lord God, our Heavenly Father, I pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ that have lost all in this devastating flood, that they would not be offended that this has befallen them. I ask a hedge of protection around them, your protection Lord from the enemy of their souls. May they lift up all their concerns to you Lord, with thanksgiving, so that your peace that passes all understanding, would continue to rule in their heart and minds. Jesus said “in this world you will have trials and tribulations, but be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world” Also “fear not for I am with you, even to the ends of the earth”. May they contain a hope in them that is visible, so that they would be ask regarding this great hope and have opportunity to lead many into Your Kingdom. Make this horrendously crooked road straight before them dear Lord, and please bless the works of their hands. In Jesus name, Amen.
In such great loss, may the hearts of everyone in the country be turned to the Lord God who is ready and able to save, to restore, to encourage, to redeem, to lift up from pits of despair, to bind up the wounded and hurting, to bring unity, to make a way to joy for those grieving……Oh God, help us to trust in you more and more through our Savior Jesus Christ. May revival come like a flood to the church and the churched, the unchurched, the unbeliever, the agnostic, the foolish and the wise…..have mercy on us through you endless love. Amen
We pray the Lord to rebuke further flooding. Meanwhile give hope and resources to meet all the needs of the flooded out residents and rebuilding to better than ever. Amen.
Father God, you love all the people! We pray that then you calm dose storms and stop the rain. We pray that you rise up people to help in all situations needed. 4 rescue workers , Police and regular citizens to have Supernatural awareness, power and Hope to save the people. We are serving Supernatural God and we praise you for that. Give our president Donald Trump and the people surrounding him inside and favor! Protect him and the people working with him from evil ! Help that the red tape will not slow down or keep people from getting the help they need as fast as possible.
Call your people to come together in unity and pray and fast! In Jesus awesome name we pray! Amen
Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You that You promised not to destroy the earth by flood. Although there are some floods that great flood of the Noah’s Ark was a one time situation. We ask that when the enemy comes in like a flood that You would lift up a standard against him. Thanks for saving me when I was a little girl in those floods I had experienced several times I am able not only have compassion but empathy. I touch and agree with all the people praying and especially those in the midst of this disaster that You will vinidicate and recover all that was lost. Especially protect them from any who would harm them because they are vulernable. I ask for many Good Samaritans to arise and take their posts in Jesus name I pray and touch and agree. Amen.
We thank You Lord for the people You have saved from this disaster and the ones You are still saving. Lord give them strength to carry on, show them the way who don’t know the way, because Jesus is the way, Amen
The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7
MAY THE LORD BE WITH ALL THE PEOPLE GOING THROUGH THE FLOODING. THE LORD IS NOT SLACK IN HIS PROMISES. HE WILL HELP ALL THE PEOPLE OF TEXAS. GOD IS WATCHING ALL OF THIS. THE PEOPLE NEED TO STAND ON THE WORD OF GOD. HE KNOWS WHAT IS BEST. I PLEAD THE BLOOD OF JESUS OVER ALL THIS FLOODING AND THAT EVERYONE WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF IN YAHWEH NAME.
Pray: Those who trusted in Mega Churches, now see their anonymous unconnected non-unified existence opposes the home churches Jesus created, and will repent and return to a Christian community that is united, and everyone knows each other. With a real church, disasters may become a thing of the past. Acts 20:19-20
19 serving the Lord with all lowliness of mind, and with tears, and with trials which befell me by the plots of the Jews;
20 how I shrank not from declaring unto you anything that was profitable, and teaching you publicly, and from house to house,
ASV
All praise & glory to You, our Lord God! You make the rain fall and by Your hand it will be stopped.
I pray Your presence and peace will be known as You surround all those experiencing the trauma of Hurricane Harvey–the residents, the rescue workers, the government leaders. Bring the right helpers and the needed help.
You give what we need to be spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically victorious in You!
Lord, move hearts to pray and help our brothers and sisters. Let us be Your heart and hands.
In the only name of Jesus Christ, Amen
We invoke kingdom authority over these storms and say “peace! be still!” Lord, may Your anointing rest upon the rescuers as they minister to the needs of the people. We invoke Your shalom to reign in the shelters. May God arise upon His people, bringing hope and healing to all. May they bring You great honor by their conduct and peace amidst this fiery trial. We plead the blood protection of Jesus over all affected by this storm and we bind down the enemy from terrorizing or harming any person in any way. We pray for rapid healing and recovery of homes and property. May all this work together for our good and for the glory of our Lord and Savior. Amen
Many thanks from Humble, Texas (north of Houston). We truly appreciate your prayers and concern. With God all things are possible. Keeping our eyes on Jesus!
God have mercy. May this time of difficulty draw many people to the Lord.
