Just as we did with President Bush prior to his debates in the most recent Presidential elections, we are calling all interested Freepers to sign up for a time to pray for Sarah Palin during her debate with Joe Biden. Another chain will be set up later to pray for McCain's next debate with Obama.
The way this will work is we would like to have someone praying during each half hour of the day on Wednesday. Times posted are EASTERN STANDARD TIME.
If you would like to take a 1/2 hour slot, sign up on this thread and I'll be gathering names and times during the day to make sure that each half hour is covered.
Duplicates are Okay so long as we get all slots filled.
Thank you for your prayers for this nation's future.

OK! I will shift to the 6:00 am to 6:30 am shift!
I’ll take the 10:30a.m. slot.
I’m out west so I’ll take 11:30 pm.
Yeah, this looks like Wednesday, so I’m going to fast from Wednesday 12:01 a.m. to Thursday 12:01 a.m. with anyone who’s up for it.
Eph. 6:12
PRAYERS UP AND DOWNRANGE FOR MAC AND SARAH!
THIS OLD MARINE DOES NOT WHERE TOO GO,IF OUR COUNTRY IS TURNED MARXIST.
PLEASE LORD,PROTECT US!
“The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.”
- Psalm 33:13
Perhaps no figure of speech represents God in a more gracious light than
when he is spoken of as stooping from his throne, and coming down from
heaven to attend to the wants and to behold the woes of mankind. We love
him, who, when Sodom and Gomorrah were full of iniquity, would not destroy
those cities until he had made a personal visitation of them. We cannot
help pouring out our heart in affection for our Lord who inclines his ear
from the highest glory, and puts it to the lip of the dying sinner, whose
failing heart longs after reconciliation. How can we but love him when we
know that he numbers the very hairs of our heads, marks our path, and
orders our ways? Specially is this great truth brought near to our heart,
when we recollect how attentive he is, not merely to the temporal
interests of his creatures, but to their spiritual concerns. Though
leagues of distance lie between the finite creature and the infinite
Creator, yet there are links uniting both. When a tear is wept by thee,
think not that God doth not behold; for, “Like as a father pitieth his
children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.” Thy sigh is able to
move the heart of Jehovah; thy whisper can incline his ear unto thee; thy
prayer can stay his hand; thy faith can move his arm. Think not that God
sits on high taking no account of thee.
Remember that however poor and needy thou art, yet the Lord thinketh upon
thee.
For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to
show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect towards
him.
Oh! then repeat the truth that never tires;
No God is like the God my soul desires;
He at whose voice heaven trembles, even he,
Great as he is, knows how to stoop to me.

SEMPER FI,5 SOLAS AND 66 POINTS!
Please put me down for 10 p.m. slot.
May God bless and be with Sarah Palin, giving her words of wisdom, understanding and knowledge during the debate. Lord, protect her, bless her and give her articulate speech. Give her the words to say throughut the whole debate and beyond. In Jesus’ Name, amen!
I hope Gov. Palin can be herself and not appear to be handled too much by campaign people who are far less successful than she is. Already, I don't like her appearance as much as when she had her own up-do hairdo.
I’ll take 10:00 AM! Thank you! : )

I along with a few other friends are fasting and praying each Tuesday until election. I will also be sure to pray with you on Wednesday at 6:30 a.m.
Joan Rosenhauer, Associate Director for the USCCB’s Department of Justice, Peace and Human Development, said that the special novena is part of “the bishops’ campaign to help Catholics develop well-formed consciences for addressing political and social questions.” The bishops issued their statement on forming consciences for faithful citizenship in November 2007.
Helen Osman, USCCB Secretary of Communications, expressed hope that the novena could help “Catholics enter into prayerful reflection as they prepare to vote.” Seventy-one percent of all visitors to the USCCB’s web site download the free podcasts of the daily NAB readings. These same visitors are encouraged to use the novena podcast for prayer. Osman said that the USCCB wants to support Catholics as they weigh pre-election issues and that “providing a prayer resource on the Web can help us focus on our common values and identity as Catholics.” The novena emphasizes the dignity of life, justice, and peace.
The Novena for Faithful Citizenship runs for nine days and can be used consecutively, one day each week, for nine days prior to the election, or “in any way that works best for a community or individual,” said Rosenhauer.
The novena will be available for download until the election and it can be downloaded online at http://www.faithfulcitizenship.org/resources/podcasts.
For other Faithful Citizenship resources and materials visit www.faithfulcitizenship.org.
Amen, and amen. I have started praying, and I won’t stop. The Lord handed us a victory today, and to His Name be all glory and honor ascribed!
“For the LORD GOD is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing will He withhold from those whose walk is blameless.” Psalm 84:11
THANK GOD for all of you and this prayer drive. I will be fasting and praying on Tuesday and I can take the Wednesday 3:00 am prayer slot. What a RELIEF to be able to join forces in prayer!
I can take 1:00pm - 1:30pm
