We are wearied, O Lord, by evaporating home values. Our 401(k)s wither on the vine. Yea, our mutual funds leak and our bonds break, and We suffer from a plague of overdue bills.
Save US, O Lord, from speculative markets, and Deliver Us from Day-Trading. Guide our feet on the narrow path to a Safe Retirement. Lead Us into Savings so that We may taste the Sweet Taste of Food and not Starve or eat dog biscuits.
And finally, O Lord, take away our internet gambling, our on-line trading, our manic eBay bidding. In fact, take away our Internet entirely, O Lord, so that We may better serve You as You would have Us serve You.
Unless, of course, You wish Us to serve You by gambling, trading, and bidding. If that is Your Wish O Lord, it's fine by Us ...
