Étape 9 - Issoire - Saint-Flour

Today we are in the central part of France in the region of Auvergne.  This is an ancient area of France.  Julius Caesar battled with the Celtic leader VERCINGETORIX here in this region.  The Volcanoes make up the mountains.  As I watch the race the down hill is becoming very dangerous. Pray for safety.
We will end in the city of Saint Flour.  Eglise Protestante Evangélique is a community of believers.  Pray for them as they serve and reach out to their city. 

Father thank you for Eglise Protestante Evangélique here in Saint Flour.  We pray for them today as they serve you.  Strength them in number and in spirit.  Bring them many opportunities to be your witness to their city.  Lord, today the race is being very dangerous and we pray for wisdom and safety as they race through this mountain pass.  Help those who have been injured. 
We pray all these things in the name of Jesus.
Amen

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
