Stage 4 Saumer/Limoges

Lord Jesus, pray for us as we pray for France.  Lord this region of Aquitaine has a special place in my heart because this was the very first region we began to pray for in France.   Lord, we pray for the church in this area and we know that You are working through your body here and we ask for the freedom of the Holy Spirit to work.  We ask for souls to be reached and for Your word to be proclaimed with boldness and with love.  We ask that your truth be spoken  so that the church will be strengthen and the lost will come to know their need of You.  Lord.  We pray for souls to be saved today and for days to come.  Lord, be glorified in France today.   We pray in the name of Jesus.  Amen.

Lord, as the riders race between these two cities they will be riding without a radio to speak to their team car. This reminds me of the days I leave home without taking the time to hook up with you. Lord, today will be a challenge for the riders with out knowing what is coming up next. Lord, I pray that I will remember to always be in contact with you so that you can guide me and speak to me. Lord, I want to hear you. Lord, I pray that the Christians in France and in this region will desire to hook up with you in their daily lives. We need communication with you on a daily basis. Thank you for this visual reminder of this truth. I pray in Jesus name Amen.
