The more I learn about the country of France the more I believe France is about simple things. France is filled with cities Rodez and Revel were life is very much down to earth, good people living with each other making their lives full of family and good things from the earth. Some fresh bread, wonderful cheese, the local wine, and a place to live with centuries of history and the buzz of today all around them. But like all people life is not always wonderful, and the French do not like to share what is private. For missionaries coming to live in France is takes along time before, if ever, they are pulled into the real part of French life. Pray that God will break down those barriers that keep relationship from growing. Ask God to help the non-french to understand the culture and rules of the French society. Pray that these things would not hinder the message of Christ being accepted in France. This area of France has a long history of religion playing a part in their lives and it has not always been good. Pray that the French will see Jesus Christ, worthy to be part of their lives and not just a piece of history. Sovereign Lord,
The past has built many stronghold in the people of France. We see their culture and rules are different then our own and it is hard to be accepted as one of them. Lord, I know that you can break down these barriers to the gospel message and bring a new spirit into the hearts of the French. Jesus, you are worthy of our worship today just as you were in the days of the past. I pray that unbelieving hearts will soon open when you stand at the door and knock. Thank you for knocking. Lord, we are fully convinced that you are able to do what you have promised. So Lord, we boldly ask to you to call the French people to salvation on this day, binding whatever stands in the way of the preaching and teaching of the Word of God to all. We pray in the name of Jesus the one and only. Amen
