Dear God, looming is a disaster caused by man which is damaging the waters, the earth, and wild life. It will wreck havoc with the ecosystem You have designed to sustain the earth and to provide food and work for its people. We point no fingers, but recognize that we are all the blame. Forgive us for wasting the natural resources of the earth. Forgive us for our blind ambition and our egotistical drive for wealth and fame. We pray for the families who lost loved ones in the recent explosion of the oil rig in the Gulf Coast. We pray for the many people who will be directly and indirectly affected by the oil spill and its ramifications. Endow us with creatively to find new methods to obtain energy that do not do violence to the earth You have given us to inhibit. Strengthen our resolve to share and not to horde the resources of the earth. Protect us from corporate greed that appears to foster wickedness in high places. Permit us the peace of your presence and the comfort of your Holy Spirit. Amen.
