Praying for Loire

 Dear Father, we begin the day in Loire in the village of Boën-sur-Lignon.  Lord, we read your promise in Isaiah 65: 24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.  Hear us this day as we pray for this region of France.   You know our heart as we pray for Your Church in France, for those who serve you.  Strengthen them,  and remind them that You hear them as they call upon You.  Thank You for your faithfulness to your children.  We pray in the name of Jesus.  Amen.

And He said to them all, “If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.
