Praying for Mitt Romney’s Running Mate Paul Ryan

August 11, 2012 By 130 Comments

U.S. Congressman Paul Ryan pictured here with his wife, Janna, and children Sam, Liza, and Charlie (2008).

With all the excitement surrounding Mitt Romney’s announcement of his running mate, I ask you, readers, to pause.  

Just stop.

Don’t write a word, don’t make a snap judgment, don’t critique the VP choice, don’t exult in its brilliance. Just take a moment and realize that whomever is chosen, he is a person about to go through an ordeal that few people will ever experience. Pray for his family. Pray that he can meet the challenges of the campaign trail without being burned by the spotlight.

I saw it first hand four years ago, of course. (Can you believe that it’s been that long?)

Our country’s future is at stake, and the other side will do all it can to not just defeat this person but also to destroy his reputation. The next 90 days will be among the most challenging of his life.

I’m going to pray for Paul Ryan. Please join me.

    I am going to pray for Paul Ryan too (as I pray for your mom and your family)

  • Tom Wiley

    Amen, I’m joining you.

  • conservativemama

    I dread what we’ll be subjected to, the filth and lies that will be thrown at Ryan. But I will join all of you in prayers. When Ryan was announced this morning my first thought was for his wife and family. The left cares for no one. Power is their god.

      You don’t have to worry about Romney and the Ryan families. It is a woman thing with the corrupt MSM, liberals, and RINOs. They hate conservative women who seek or are in office. They did the same to Gov. Haley, Lt. Gov of WI, and Bachmann.

      But the sad thing about it is that the GOP looks the other way.

  • Paulette Jones

    Wonderful post Bristol. This is, indeed, the first thing we should be doing for Paul Ryan and his family. I hope they remain strong in their convictions and faith as your family has done, and learns to rise above the harsh attacks of the media and the left.

  • Marie

    Will join you in praying.

  • April ReyRey

    Bristol, I just want to let you know how much I admire your matureness and you have a good head on your shoulders. Im so proud of how you have handled all the negativity your family has endured and I know you have an amazing family of good faith and you guys are constantly in my prayers. Always keep your head up and dont NO ONE get you down!

    How can you pray for a man whose budget clearly goes against Christian virtues?! The Ryan budget would cut ALL support for the poor, the old, the sick, the disabled… going directly against the teachings of Jesus Christ. Ryan would cut taxes on the wealthiest Americans, redistributing wealth to the top 1%. Heck, his budget is outright SATANIC in its indulgent, greedy nature! It’s not wonder prominent Catholic and Christian leaders are against the Ryan budget as the most anti-Christian proposal to grace the halls of the House of Representatives. I think you should take a break from your reality TV career Bristol and start reading the Bible before you invoke the name of the Lord in support of a man who is clearly against His interests. ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least among you, you did not do for me.’ -Matthew 25:41-45

      Well if that happens then the Church will need to rise up and be the answer to the poor and the needy, not the government.

    • C. Halfacre

      No where in the bible does it say that the government is responsible for the poor and needy. It is a responsibility of the church. Obama has had no budget in 4 years and look where we are now. It is time to stop the madness of spending beyond our means.

      • WL

        So Halfacre, “the Church” would take care of everyone on some kind of social assistance, including all the seniors in this country? Really? I’m curious….. how exactly would that work? We aren’t talking about a couple hundred years ago when the young outnumbered the old, healthcare was limited and relatively inexpensive and almost everyone had a church.

      • myj

        Ezekiel 16:49…. A nation was judged for not pity the poor and needy…. God expect the government to take care of it people, especially the poor, sick, elderly and even the strangers…. They don’t have the money and manpower to handle it… They receive help from the government for the soup kitchen, food pantries and other social programs.

  • April ReyRey

    Oh and WL u are a jerk and if you dont pray then why are you even on here? Huh???

  • bellagrazi

    Thank you, Bristol. Definitely praying for Paul Ryan and his family. And I continue to pray for your family as well.

    • WL

      Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t realize one gas to pray to comment here!

  • Cindy

    conservativemama the right gives as good as it gets.
