Will Prayer End High Gas Prices?

Rocky Twyman of Washington, D.C. believes that Americans need to pray for lower gas prices. Recently, Twyman made a trip to San Francisco as a part of his prayer campaign “Pray at the Pump.” San Francisco has some of the highest gas prices in the nation, topping $4+ a gallon. He also advocates doing some practical things:

The 59-year-old Twyman says people praying for cheaper fuel should also walk more and use car pools.

If that’s possible, I wouldn’t be surprised that some Americans aren’t already doing this. Personally I made a change to a doctor’s appointment to tie in with another family member going to the same doctor. Why make two trips from Laurel to Millsboro when one is cheaper? I can’t afford too many trips like that anyway.

Twyman says that if God brought down the walls of Jericho when the ancient Hebrews prayed, then divine intervention can bring down gas prices too.

Prayer can certainly make a difference. We probably should have been doing it already.

“God, deliver us from these high gas prices,” Twyman said. “That’s all they have to say.”
