WASHINGTON (AP) - Rocky Twyman says nothing else has worked, so he's urging motorists to pray for lower gasoline prices when they fuel up.

Twyman says he and his fellow volunteers at a church soup kitchen launched "Pray at the Pump" today at a gas station in Washington D.C.

After fueling up their cars, Twyman says they bowed their heads and asked God for cheaper gas.

There was no immediate answer, but he says other motorists joined in and the service station owner didn't run them off.

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.
