Here you can read the proclamation from Paul R. LePage, Governor of Maine. He has accepted the call from Rick Perry, Governor of Texas to declare August 6, 2011 a day of prayer for our nation. I love all the historic quotes he lists in the proclamation!
Robert Treat Paine said, "I have been in great anxiety for you ever since I left you. The appearance of a settled fit of sickness & a faultering constitution have filled me with very disagreeable apprehensions. I rely upon it therefore you will by the first opportunity let me hear of your Welfare."
John Adams said, "we have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion.

It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
John Adams said, "[I]t is religion and morality alone which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand. The only foundation of a free constitution is pure virtue."
