Stage 10 Tarbes / La Pierre-Saint-Martin

Today is the first of the Pyrenees, so we will enjoy the climbs and the strategies that come with the slopes and the valleys.  Each team comes with different strengths and weaknesses, but they all have the same goal to make it over the mountains to the finish line in the least amount of time.  The sprinters will pop off the back as the climbers will their bodies to go faster and faster. 




Lord, we watch as they move through your handiwork.  Up hills, around the bends, and down into the valleys below protect them as they go.  Lord, help us all to slow down and enjoy the beauty around us each day.  Thank you for what you have created.  As we see your creation we praise you as our creator.  Father thank you for the beauty we see this stage and the stages to come. 
We pray in the name of Jesus our Creator. 
Amen.

Etape 9 St. Gaidens- Tarbes


St Gaudens

Lord, today is your day. As we worship you guides us. Cleanse our hearts so that our lives are pleasing to you. Thank you for your forgiveness of our sins. Lord, I pray for the people of the Pyrenees mountains. They are people who work hard with their hands and enjoy good music and art and the beauty around them. Lord, Thank you for the beauty of this area of the world. Thank you for the people who make up this part of France. Lord, I pray that your word will be spoken today in the churches of the Pyrenees. Let your truth be understood by all who are willing to listen. Thank you for loving us and dying on the cross for us.
Lord, send revival to France.
I pray in the name of Jesus.
Amen



Tarbes

Each stage on the Tour de France website they have a video for the departing city and the arriving city. I enjoy watching how each city presents themselves. It is a nice way to learn about the different parts of France.
