Dear God,
If you let the Dow close above 7000 again I promise I will take back every bad thing I have said about you. I know that it has been a lot recently, but you have got to understand that I have been under the constant fear that I could lose my job, like most of the other people here on Wall Street.
"I'll pray right up 'til the closing bell if I have to"

Our Father, Who art in heaven
forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Please make this plan work for our economy
