Prayer Finally Stopped the BP Oil Spill

Did Congress declare a national day of prayer for the Gulf oil spill while I was gone?  If so, why can't I find any evidence of it ... especially since it was, according to Christian Coalition of Alabama chairman Randy Brinson, responsible for getting God to finally stop the spill:

About 100 people gathered in a beach pavilion at Gulf Shores early Sunday to pray for people and wildlife on the Gulf Coast.

They also prayed for an end to the oil crisis. The participants said God, not BP or the government, holds the key to resolving the disaster.

The chairman of the Christian Coalition of Alabama, said it wasn't a coincidence that BP announced the cap was working shortly after Congress called for a national day of prayer for the gulf.
