In 2007, the South was struggling with a severe drought. Lakes and rivers in Florida, Alabama, and Georgia were dropping fast. The situation was quite desperate.

Water conservation restrictions had been put in place, but nothing brought relief. So, then-Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue asked people to join him in prayer at the state capitol and ask God to open the heavens.

“I’m here today to appeal to you and to all Georgians and all people who believe in the power of prayer to ask God to shower our state, our region, our nation with the blessings of water,” Perdue said.
