Palin says praying to god can solve America's energy, security woes

Washington, Dec. 4 (ANI): Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has said that most of America's woes like health care, energy and national security could be solved if leaders pray to God with humble heart for the Unites State's prosperity and protection.

"If we could get back to that, that humbleness, with that kind of contrite spirit, I think that we would be able to be provided more of the answers to so many of the great challenges that we're facing," The Telegraph quoted Palin, as saying.

"And these are huge challenges, whether we're talking about health care, whether we're talking about energy independence, whether we're talking about national security measures."

In a video released by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, the 2008 Republican candidate for vice president, said it was important for leaders to recognise they don't have all the answers.

"No one person has all the right answers. It takes a united nation, and it does take godly counsel, and it takes prayer and answers to prayer - and a collective humble heart of a nation seeking God's hand of protection and his blessings of prosperity.

"I think if we can get back to that, our country will be a safer, more prosperous and healthier nation."

Palin referred to an Abraham Lincoln proclamation that declared a day of national humiliation, fasting, and prayer.

She added that the US has been "touched by God" because the nation's early leaders dedicated the country to God. (ANI)
