An American Prayer

Dear God
You know that oil you put in the crust of your earth. You thought it was enough to last for thirty generations, but you got it wrong. We have used most of it up. We have not wasted it. We have not built a tower of Babel. No, we have done exactly as you said in Gen 11:8,9 and spread suburbia out across the plains.

Anyway, the easy oil is all gone. You didn’t create enough of it. So you had better give us some new cheap energy. We do not care what it is, as long as you do it fast.

So jump to it, God. This is important. We have got more American living to do. Some families have had to stop eating donuts to pay for their gas.

And God Bless America. We deserve it.

Amen
