Sarah Palin is a born-again, Spirit-filled Godly person who said “yes” when asked recently to serve her country. Since then, Gov. Palin asked my daughter Rosanne, who is part of her staff in Anchorage , for prayer, and so over the weekend Rosanne and I put together the attached “Psalm for Sarah for 66.” It’s intercessory prayer using Psalm 27 for the 66 days between the date of Sarah’s accepting McCain’s offer and election day, Nov. 4; it’s not about who wins the election or about politics or your voting choice.
We’ve sent it to a number of Christians across the county so would you also pray for Gov. Palin in this Esther-like time of her life? You might also pass it along or copy any one who might pray. If this request is offensive to you, I apologize.

Practical Bible Teaching 
I believe Sarah Palin is our country’s 21st century Esther. We should all commit to pray for her daily, because she will continue to be subject to vicious attacks. Her fight, and ours, is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers of the air (spiritual warfare).

I am very impressed with Sarah Palin’s willingness to be real. We can begin, on her behalf, to “call forth things that are not as though they were”. We will speak victory into her life and mission that she has been called to fulfill.

Ken,
I agree that we should all pray for her daily. It is also important that we pray for all the candidates on a daily basis. They seek to lead this country, and that is an awesome responsibility. We each have our opinions about who should be in and who should be out. However, all four of them are in leadership positions, and the Word teaches us to pray “for all those in authority” (1 Tim. 2:2).

I agree that Sarah Palin needs our prayers, especially. She is now and will continue to receive attacks directed at her soul, intended to distract her from her willingness to do the work to which she has been called. gracie

Sarah Palin is in my prayers. I pray that God will be her guide in all she does. It is so good to hear her profess her faith. God never gives us more than we can handle. I think He has some plans for Sarah. She will need the strength and support of our prayers.

Mary,
My apologies for the “little meant toothy face.”
I am still learning how to manage this blog.
Since most people do not know about how to add their photo or an avatar to their profile, I clicked on the option to generate one for those who do not have an ID. The option they gave me appeared to be a “cute” one, but obviously is not. I have gone in and changed to what you now see.
Thanks for pointing that out for me.
