La Fête du Muguet, La Fête du Travail

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. I Corinthians 15:58

Lord, We pray for the Church in France to be stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that they labour not in vain.  Lord, I pray the same prayer for us here at Praying for France, that we will continue to be stedfast, and continue to pray for the people of France.  Renew our vision, and our passion for the work You are doing in France.  Increase our love for the people of France.  Expand our borders and give us the wisdom to move from a place of pray into becoming Your hands and feet working among the people of France.  We pray in the name of Jesus.  Amen.  

Ile-de France

Yes, I know this year is not going as planned and I wonder why I am surprised.  To be honest not too many things go as I plan, but there is not much I can do about it, so as my husband says, "Just keep on going, "  So here on Praying for France we will just keep on praying, know that God's keeps on listening.

Over the next few weeks we will be praying for the region where Paris is located the Ile-de-France consisting of 8 departments and millions of souls.  We were in this region two years ago and there has been a great influx of people from around the world and decrease in locals.  To me it seemed like a different country then it was back in the late 80's.  Even though things change people are still in need of  a Savior.  So we keep on praying.

Father the world changes with new people, and new faces, but our hearts and souls, continue to need to know You as our personal Father, We continue to need Jesus your Son as our Lord and Savior, and we always need the power of Your Holy Spirit working and filling our lives.
Father thank you for what you are doing in the region of Ile-de-France.  Lord, continue to move in and through lives, changing hearts, cleansing souls, letting people be new creations in You. Continue to build by adding to the body of Christ daily.  Lord, let your love and power flood through the streets and lives of Paris, the surrounding neighborhoods and departments.  We pray all in the powerful name of Jesus.  Amen.

Essone 91

Dear Lord,  We praise your name for where and how your grace is flowing over the people of Essone.  Lord, we pray that people will take the time in their hurried lives to see and feel your grace working in their lives.
  Father, many people in France do no believe in You or your work of grace, but that does not stop your continuous waves of grace flowing through their lives.  Lord, we pray for the freedom and power of the Holy Spirit as he stirs hearts and call men and women of Essone to except your work of grace in their lives.  Lord, we ask this prayer to be true in our lives as well.  We pray this in the name of Jesus our gracious Savior.  Amen.
