Cavendish yesterday and Kittel today

This year the sprints have been evenly won, except for Cavendish winning two stages.  The last two days have been within centimeters of each other.  Congrats to all the winners this year.  Hang in there because the mountains are coming. Praying you are able to pedal safety over each and everyone.

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.

Stage 4 Seraing / Cambrai

Today we enter France.  We will be coming into the department Nord (59)

Today will be filled with cobbles, ruts, and possibly more crashes, so pray for a safe race today.  

Pray for the people of this department as they live their lives surrounded by the reminders of the past.  Pray that their faith in the Father will grow as they see the Father working in their lives.  Pray that hearts will  be open and soften to the word of God and that they will be grounded in His promises written in scripture. 

Lord, 

we pray for the people of France but also for the people in this area of France.  Lord, we know that you love each one and you have provided salvation for all.  We pray that hearts will be opened to hear about your promises of abundant life through your Son, Jesus Christ.  Lord, let the Words of scripture land on many soft hearts, ready to receive  your message.  Lord, break down any walls we build so that your Word can be spoken today. Lord we pray for open and ready hearts in Nord, department 59.  

We pray all these things in the name of Jesus,

 Amen.
