It's Time to Pray for Sarah Palin

As I was watching the news this past week, God put it on my heart to pray for the Palins. As, Sarah Palin has stepped into the national race for the Vice Presidency, there have been some horrible attacks on her person, character, family & beliefs. Todd & Sarah Palin have been open about their faith & beliefs and the media is bent on, not just defaming her character, but destroying her & her family.

This is not a political endorsement, rather a call to prayer for a family of God's children that the Devil has set his sights on to destroy.

These latest attacks show the true colors of the viciousness and vitriol of the attackers.

1) "Left-wing internet hackers have been credited for illegally breaking into GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s email. Members of what has been described as the “cyber vigilante” group Anonymous broke into Palin’s personal Yahoo email account and uploaded stolen information to the Internet." Sept. 17, 2008

2) Hollywood actors fell into the deep end years ago, as we know, but it really seems like they've sunk to new lows in their attacks on Sarah Palin. On Sept 15, 2008, Chevy Chase said this: "Well, I thought, I mean, it's extraordinary how well she played her and how much she looked like her. I'd just like her to be—personally I felt we didn't need the Hillary stuff. I'd like her to go even harder. I want her to decimate this woman. This is a, this woman is, I mean I can't believe isn't more about her. All the media have and the press have been going "oh, she's a wonderful, oh God, her speech was great." Just unbelievable to me that this woman is running for vice-president."

3) Leftwing Bloggers coined this phrase “Jesus was a community organizer, Pontius Pilate was a Governor”. Sept. 5, 2008

Even though the attacks on the Palins seem to be backfiring on the Obama camp, and energizing the conservative base around the country, we cannot forget that there is a huge spiritual battle going on here. The Palins, for the simple fact that they are children of God, are being attacked by Satan. Satan is using lots of people in the media to try and destroy her and tear her to bits.

We need to lift them up in prayer. They need God's protection, provision, wisdom, strength.

I encourage all of us that every time you hear Sarah Palin's name on the radio or on the TV or she comes up in a conversation, let that be a reminder to pray for her, and Todd, her children, and especially Trac who is being deployed to Iraq soon.

I'm not a believer in Mail Forwards, but this word needs to get out to the family of God. Our country is in dire times. We need leaders of character and faith and I believe that John McCain and Sarah Palin can navigate us through the political waters of our times. And there are those out there that have proven that they will cross every line in order to remove her from this race.

Pray with me,

Ephesians 6:10-17
10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
