Psalm for Sarah for 66

(This was received as a forwarded email.) Printable version

Sarah Palin is a Christian 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 anyone who might pray. ...

Faith is not a belief that everything will turn out to please us, rather it is the confidence that no matter how things turn out God will somehow use the events in our days for His glory and our good.
