(EcoWatch) – This is not us trying to be The Onion. Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin has officially proclaimed Oct. 13 “Oilfield Prayer Day” to raise awareness for the state’s declining oil industry. Here’s her official signed proclamation.

The document states:

“Whereas Oklahoma is blessed with an abundance of oil and natural gas; and … Christians acknowledge such natural resources are created by God … Christians are invited to thank God for the blessings created by the oil and natural gas industry and to seek His wisdom and ask for protection.”

A series of “Praying for the Patch” breakfasts will take place in other cities before culminating at the sixth annual Oilfield Prayer Breakfast on Oct. 13 in downtown Oklahoma City, an event that Fallin has made preliminary plans to attend.

Tom Beddow, coordinator of the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma’s Oil Patch Chaplains ministry, is one of the organizers of the Praying for the Patch initiative that was also created in partnership with the Oilfield Christian Fellowship.

The organizers have invited Oklahoma residents and churches to simultaneously pray for the state’s energy industry, which directly or indirectly employs one-quarter of all job holders in the Sooner State. [more]
