Please pray to stop the oil leak!
Too many months have gone by since the oil disaster, and I think it's time that we got on board with Louisiana to help them stop the oil leak.
Please join me and other Church goers on Sunday for a brief prayer to Jesus to ask for his help in overcoming this disaster. If we pray the same time as the Louisianians, our additional prayers might help emphasize the urgency of this situation.
Louisiana lawmakers propose prayer to stop oil disaster

(CNN) -- While cleanup crews and technical teams continue efforts to stop crude gushing into the Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana lawmakers are proposing a different approach: prayer. State senators designated Sunday as a day for citizens to ask for God's help dealing with the oil disaster. "Thus far efforts made by mortals to try to solve the crisis have been to no avail," state Sen. Robert Adley said in a statement released after last week's unanimous vote for the day of prayer. "It is clearly time for a miracle for us."
The resolution names Sunday as a statewide day of prayer in Louisiana and calls on people of all religions throughout the Gulf Coast "to pray for an end to this environmental emergency, sparing us all from the destruction of both culture and livelihood."
