Stage 14 Rodez / Mende

Yesterday the tour moved on to the Languedoc-Roussillon region ending in the 48th department Lozere landing on an air strip on top of a hill.  This area of France reminds me of Sardinia but with more green.  I love the rocks and the interesting shapes they are created in.  God is so varied in His Creation.

Father,
Each day we see beauty, but the beauty of your creation changes from day to day as the tour rides through France.  Thank you for all your handiwork in this region of France.  Lord, as we go we pray for those who are proclaiming your name today.  Give them boldness and grace as they tell others your wonders and grace through their lives, words and actions.   Father, thank you for using us to be your hands and feet.  We pray this because we desire for the people of France to look at your beauty and know and believe that you are the creator and that you love them and desire to redeem us all and welcome us into your Family as Children of God.  Thank you for the redeeming works of Jesus Christ we all would be lost without your beauty of grace.  We pray all these things in the name of Jesus for the Salvation of France.  Amwn

Étape 12, Bourg-de-Péage > Mende

Sovereign Lord,

Creator of all things.  Today as we watch the race we see your mastery over all things.  Thank you of all the beauty and majesty that we enjoy today we know that it comes from you.   You are a good and loving God and you have revealed yourself to us, therefore we are without excuse, but, we have fallen short of your glory.  We have all sinned and need your redeeming love.  Jesus, you are the Christ, and we thank you for dieing for us.  We are eternally grateful for the life that you have given us, but our hearts are broken when we see so many around us who do not believe you are the Christ.  Lord, we know that only you can change their hearts, but I do not want to be the reason they have rejected you.  Sovereign Lord call the people from Bourg-de-Péage to Mende to salvation.  We love them and we desire for them to know you.  Holy Spirit increase their desire to seek after God, and help us to love each other and speak truth so that they can believe that Jesus is the Christ.   Add many to your Church today.  We pray through the name of the Holy Servant Jesus.  Amen

Praying for Lozere Department 48

John 11:25-26
I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shal never die. Believest thou this?

Lord, here in Lozere one can see the beauty of Cevennes National Park, and here you can hike and see your creation, but one can be reminded of your death as they see the stone crosses or see the sheep in the fields. I know that when I see these things I am reminded that you died for me so that I might have life. Lord, we each deserve death because of our sin, but because you are the resurrection and the life we can believe on you and receive life eternal. Lord, take the salvation message to the lost in Lozere and please remind those who do believe in you that they are able to live in your power and strength each and everyday. I pray for France and the people who have come to worship you today. Lord, provide encouragement and life to the body of Christ. I pray in the name of Jesus the resurrection and the life.
Amen
