Colossians 1:13(KJV)

13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

Father, thank you for your deliverance you have provided for us from the power of darkness through your Son Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.  We bless you Father for being our all and all.  We Bless you for the people you have created in Manche France.  You are their deliverance.   Deliver them from the coast to fields, deliver each family, each marriage, each business,  Translate us all into the Kingdom of Your dear Son.   Continue to work in the lives of Manche.  In the Power of the Name of Jesus, Your dear Son,  we pray.  Amen.  

Stage 3 Granville to Angers

Pump up your bicycle tires because today we ride through 5 departments of France.  We will be leaving (50) Manche, and moving through (35) Ille-et-Villaine, (53) Mayenne, and ending our ride in (49) Maine-et-Loire.   Or by regions with leaving Normandie  pedaling through Bretagne and ending our trip in Pays-de-la-loire. 

Holy Father, Redeeming Savior, 
We humbly ask that you intercede on our behalf for the people in the north western side of France.  Lord, You know your hearts desire for this area.  You know every need and heart ache.  You know their hearts cry, so teach us to pray for these needs.  Lord, we thank you for each soul that will come to know your this week in France and we thank you for the work of the Holy Spirit in lives.  Lord, use your Church in France to be the salt and light to those around them.  Lord, we desire a change in the hearts of men and women.  We pray that they will leave their way of thinking and turn to You.  Redeem souls, cleanse hearts and transform lives today, and we humbly ask that you begin in us.  
We pray in the name of Jesus our Redeemer.  Amen. 

No longer the bridesmaid. Today the Bride

Last year 2nd place was Peter's spot, even though he wore green but today he is the victor and it is great to see that his team was able to salvage their day with a great stage win by Sagan.  Congrats to Peter.  Good to see you with the Lion in your hand.

Stage 2 Saint Lô / Cherbourg-en-Cotentin

Looking through the pictures of the pass and battles fought here in this area, makes on pause to remember the sacrifice men, women and children paid so that others might live in Freedom.  This weekend is a time here at home for us to reflex on the cost.  Freedom does not come cheaply.  Freedom for our nations, or freedom from sin, both required sacrifice.  Thank you for paying for our Freedom. 

Father, Thank you for all who have sacrificed. On these streets many lives were lost so that others might live.  Lord, thank you for those who paid the price for freedom.  Lord, as they ride through Saint Lô let us not forget the cost for freedom.  Jesus, thank you for dying in my place.  I praise your Name and pray in the power of Your Name.  Amen

Cavendish victory on Stage 1

Mark I really did not see you wining to much this year, but you have proven once again there is a bit of  speed left in those legs.  Congrats on the win today.  Yellow will suit you well tomorrow.

Stage 1 Mont-Saint Michel

Isaiah 53:6(ESV)

All we like sheep have gone astray;
    we have turned—every one—to his own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity of us all.

Lord, we know that you paid for our transgressions.  On the cross your bore my sins and the sins of all mankind and so today as the tour begins we begin with saying thank you for being our Good Shepherd and our Savior.  Lord, thank you for guiding us as we pray through the tour this year.  We are grateful for leadership in our lives each and every day.  Lord, we desire to understand your vision of the people of France.  Thank you for shepherding them.  Lead them in paths of righteousness for your name sake.  Lord, bring the lost sheep of France back to the fold.  
We pray in your precious name Jesus.  Amen.

Étape 6 Dinan to Lisieux

Today and tomorrow will be sprint finishes.  We leave the medieval city of Dinan located in Brittany and travel to Lisieux in the region of Normandy. Dinan is a small port city along the river.  Today you are able to see much of the original city.  It looks very royal. At the finish line in Lisieux we find the Basilica of St.Thérèse.  Over two million visitors come each year on a pilgrimage looking for favor from God.

Lord, we pray as the millions pilgrimage to Lisieux looking for your favor I pray the find that you are waiting for them to come into a personal relationship, knowing you as their Lord and Savior.  Lord, thank you for the salvation that Jesus has provided us on the cross.  Lord, many are seeking but do the see the salvation you have provided through grace and mercy.  Do they except your love and assurance of their justification through the righteousness of Christ.  We pray that they will see and believe.  We pray in the name of Jesus our Savior.  Amen
