In response, Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco declared Wednesday a day of prayer. "I am asking that all of Louisiana take some time Wednesday to pray. Pray for the victims and the rescuers. Please pray that God will 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."

Prayer, Blanco said, "would be the best thing to calm our spirits and thank our Lord that we are survivors. Slowly, gradually, we will recover; we will survive; we will rebuild."
