Lorraine part of Grand Est

Lorraine has battle scars and rich history.  Joan of Arc is one of the most famous warriors from this
battle field, but many more followed in the centuries to follow.  The web site About France.com has a wonderful page on the history and people of Lorraine.

Lorraine borders three neighboring nations of Germany, Luxembourg and Belgium and consist of 4 departments, (54) Meurthe-et-Moselle, (55) Meuse, (57) Moselle,  and (88) Vosges.


We will pray that Lorraine will rely on  God to guide them.
To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. Luke 1: 79 

Lord, we need you as the light of the world and as our guide.  We know that we are lost without you.  Lord, continue to shine light into Lorraine and remove the darkness in our hearts, guide our feet into the way of peace here in Lorraine.  We pray in the name of Jesus our light and guide.  Amen. 

Vosges (88)

As we look out over the department of Vosges (88) we can see this has been a place of strife, conflict,  and war, but yet in the midst of all that historical past there is peace.  As you walk through the mountains along a stream you can see the beauty of God's handiwork and feel Him surrounding you.  If you stay still you can know He is God.   I continue my simple pray for the region of Lorraine will hear God. 

Father,

we know that you are working in the hearts and lives in Vosges, France.  We praise you for this.  Thank you for being in this place and for desiring to have a relationship with each man, women, and child.  Lord, we pray that they will stop and hear you call to them.  We ask that they will tune into your voice and hear the love and mercy you are speaking each and everyday.  We also pray that they will hear the warnings that are given for not listening to you.  Help us listen and hear you as well.  Keep us in focused on you as we move through our day.  We pray in the name of Jesus,  Your Word who became flesh and dwelt among us.  Amen
