Stage 12 Montpellier / Mont Ventoux

Up up up we go.  Mont Ventoux has been shortened due to the wind.  When I think of wind I think of the wind on Pentecost.

Acts 2 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Almighty Father, we pray for the power and the freedom of the Holy Spirit. Lord, as the wind blows today allow the Holy Spirit to have freedom in our hearts.  Stir Hearts as you go through the south of France. 

Lord, we pray for the area that has been touched by fire.  Lord heal this land and hearts. 

We pray in the name of Jesus. 

Amen

Stage 12 Lannemezaan /Plateau de Beille

The Tour has been through this area and I am a bit late with this prayer, but as they move on through France keep the Pyrenees and people who live there in your prayers.  The days in the mountains  are always exciting and unpredictable things go on as the teams ride over each mountain on the stage.

Lord,
we pray for all the people who live in and on these beautiful green hills called the Pyrenees.  Lord, even through they live in a beautiful location, life can be ugly and bring pain and hardship along with beauty and grace.  Lord, we pray that as people struggle to climb up life's mountain they will look to You for wisdom, strength, guidance and redemption so that they will be blessed by You for generations to come.  Father pour your blessings over the Pyrenees.  In the name of Jesus we pray.  Amen
