Sunday prayers

Ephesians 2:12
In Him and through faith in Him we may approach God with freedom and confidence

Father, we thank you for being accessible. Lord we pray that many in France will come before you on this day. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen

The Final Sprint

Team Sky

Team Sky dominated in this tour. Bradley in yellow, Chris in second, and Mark wining sprints.  Between the three of them they won 6 of the 20 stages.  Bradley is the first British cyclist to win the Tour de France.  Next comes the Olympics.  Best to Team Sky as they race for gold in London.

Lord, Thank you for a great time of prayer for France and for all who ride in the tour.  Be with Team Sky as they continue to ride, we pray they will all soon know you as Lord and Savior and will ride for your honor and glory.  Bring the gospel story into their lives so that they can choose to know you.  We pray all these things in the name of Jesus, our Savior.  Amen.

Team Orica-Greenedge

What fun it was to watch the Aussie Team as they pedaled their way into our hearts this year in the tour. Many of these cyclist will be wining stages to come as they ride.  Being a young team they will learn many lessons as they race.


Lord, we pray for Team Orica-Greenedge as they travel home.  Thank you for their contributions to the tour.  Lord, may they come to learn about you as they race.  We pray that they will learn of your grace and mercy.  Understand your love for them and the nation of Australia.  We pray all these things in the name of Jesus our Savior.  Amen. 

Sunday"s Prayer

Today I was witness to a baptismal service of some friends of mine.  After the baptism was done we sang the old hymn  Marvelous Grace  

Vs 1. 

Marvelous grace of our loving Lord, 
Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt! 
Yonder on Calvary’s mount outpoured, 
There where the blood of the Lamb was spilled. 

Refrain 

Grace, grace, God’s grace, 
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within; 
Grace, grace, God’s grace, 
Grace that is greater than all our sin. 

God's grace is grater than all of our sin.  To watch these men and women who have accepted Christ as Lord and Savior follow Him in Baptism was a blessing today.  God is able to pardon us all. 

Father thank you for the pardon you have provided for us all.  Your grace is marvelous and your love abundant.  We are truly blessed.  Thank you for the work you are doing in all of our lives.  In Jesus Name Amen. 

Étape 20, Rambouillet to Paris

Today has come.  We have made it to Paris.  This tour has been fun to watch and I thank all of you for coming and praying.  Over the last 3 weeks there have been over 1,700 page views, so thank you for all who made it a wonderful tour of prayer. 

Today, the need in Paris is as great as it has always been.  Please continue to pray for the needs of France and for her capital.  People all around us where ever we live need Christ.  We who know Him as our Lord and Savior understand what others are missing, so continue to pray and tell others about our great God. 

Lord, thank you for a great three weeks of the tour.  Thank you for all who came to pray and I know that your hear our prayers.  Today we pray for the people of Paris and all who live in this great city.  Lord, we ask that the gospel message will freely sweep through this city by the power of the Holy Spirit, with Your written Word.  Give local Churches here in Paris and the surrounding areas the boldness and love to spread the gospel.  Thank you for each believer here, we pray for their strength and growth in You.  We pray all these things in the name of Jesus.  Amen.
