It's 10:00 am here on the west coast so nine housrs would pray Sarah through the debate on the east coast, I believe. Say any prayer you wish -- perhaps even a prayer for her Guardian Angel to guard and guide her since it is the Memorial of the Guardian Angels.
I know some of you don't like your prayers associated with politics, and that's OK. Just let me know so that I won't ping you next time.
(An option would be that you can pray for Sarah as a person and leave the politics out of it.)
PS. I was asked to do this by a couple of FReepers, so am complying at their urging.
I’ve prayed the Trisagion in Arabic with a local Melkite parish. Beautiful!
Thank you. I didn’t know Sarah was born a Catholic.
[Eighth Salutation]
By the intercession of St. Michael and the celestial Choir of Archangels may the Lord give us perseverance in faith and in all good works in order that we may attain the glory of Heaven. Amen.Our Father ...
Hail Mary ...
Hail Mary ...
Hail Mary ...
Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us in Your goodness. May your servant Sarah be filled with your wisdom and not falter or hesitate. May she have your confidence. This night may the angels be at her side and the communion of saints pray for her success. We ask this in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
I saw a prayer request sent in by a Rosemary Dupras whose daughter is on Gov Palin’s staff at www.nationalcalltoprayer.org/en/art/?597. The psalm was broken down into specific requests for each verse:
Singleness of Vision, Moral Clarity
Ps 27:1a - The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear?
Fearlessness, Boldness
Ps 27:1b - The Lord is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread?
Protection from Libel, Slander, Hatred, Persecution
Ps 27:2 - When [not ‘if’] evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh, my
adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell.
Confidence in Christ, a Guarded Heart
Ps 27:3 - Though a host encamp against me, My heart will not fear;
Though war arise against me, in spite of this I shall be confident.
Priorities Devotions, Rest, Balance
Ps 27:4 - One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek: That I
may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the
beauty of the Lord, and to meditate in His temple.
Deliverance, Favor
Ps 27:5 - For in the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle; In
the secret place of His tent He will hide me; He will lift me up on a rock.
An Overcoming Spirit, a Higher Perspective
Ps 27:6 - And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me;
And I will offer in His tent sacrifices with shouts of joy. I will sing,
yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.
Direction, Wisdom, Surefootedness
Ps 27:7, 11 - Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice, and be gracious to me
and answer me. . . . Teach me Thy way, O Lord and lead me in a level path
because of my foes.
A Release of Faith, an Expectancy of Good,
Ps 27:13 - I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the
goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Strength, Courage, Endurance,
Ps 27:14 - Wait for the Lord; Be strong and let your heart take courage.
Yes, wait for the Lord.
And let Your kingdom come and let Your will be done.
Thank you - there are some GREAT resources for prayer there.
I am getting greater assurance that we are very close to the end of abortion in America - hence the spiritual battle.
Keep up the prayers!!!
May she hear those cheers as unbridled confidence.
May she know we are all behind her.
And...
May she remember God put her right were she is, right now, because he has THAT much confidence in her, too.

O glorious prince St. Michael, chief and commander of the heavenly hosts, guardian of souls, vanquisher of rebel spirits, servant in the house of the Divine King and our admirable conductor, you who shine with excellence and superhuman virtue deliver us from all evil, who turn to you with confidence and enable us by your gracious protection to serve God more and more faithfully every day.Pray for us, O glorious St. Michael, Prince of the Church of Jesus Christ, that we may be made worthy of His promises.
Almighty and Everlasting God, Who, by a prodigy of goodness and a merciful desire for the salvation of all men, has appointed the most glorious Archangel St. Michael Prince of Your Church, make us worthy, we ask You, to be delivered from all our enemies, that none of them may harass us at the hour of death, but that we may be conducted by him into Your Presence. This we ask through the merits of Jesus Christ Our Lord.
Amen.
Holy Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray: and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God thrust down into hell Satan and all wicked spirits who wander throughout the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.
That’s a beautiful prayer. Thank you for posting it!

I’ve been praying on and off all day. Thanks for this thread, a great idea. Lord, please be with Sarah at this moment and throughout this debate.
Amen.
I really liked your prayer ... I think it says it..
>> Nine Hour Novena for Sarah Palin
Good job people!!!
Sarah was wonderful in the VP debate!
But I am no longer unabashedly pro-Sarah after the tolerance for queers remarks. This brought her down a couple of notches from my perspective. I can still support her but feel she distanced herself from God and good with that pandering outburst.
