From Texas-Austin City Hall has looked to conservation and searched for additional sources of water to help deal with the persistent drought. On Thursday, a group of pastors came to City Hall to encourage Austin to appeal to a higher power.
The half-dozen or so pastors, speaking during the invocation that begins council meetings, urged the city to pray for rains that end the drought. Senior Pastor Will Davis, Jr. of Austin Christian Fellowship entreated God to fill Lake Travis so that it reaches 681 feet above sea level, which is considered full.
“Father, we are perhaps more concerned this drought might be from you, that you might be causing it or allowing it,” Davis said. He added that when “people you give favor to get distracted … sometimes you call for the rains to stop, that a people might do what we’re doing right now, stand before you and humble ourselves and return the rain to the land.”
