Thank You

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.

Sunday Prayers

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Matthew 11: 28-30 

King Jesus, 

Today let me learn from you, meekness and lowliness of heart.  I confess that I am unable to be meek and lowly of heart.  I fear pride rules far to often.  I enjoy the praise of others and seek to be noticed for my accomplishments.  Forgive me for the sin of pride. 

Lord, I desire to learn from you how to be meek and be lowly in heart as the daughter of the King, I desire to have the mind of Christ to be in me.  Shape me to be like you, think, walk and talk, like you.  Let my thought and actions glorify You.  I pray in the name of Jesus, Lord of Lords, King of Kings.  Amen.

Calvados (14)

Ephesians 1: 7 We have redemption in Him through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace.  

Redemption =the action of saving or being saved from sin, error, or evil
Forgive = Absolve from payment. 

The wages of Sin is death, and I sin so I deserve death, but Christ Died in my place and paid my debt.  He redeemed me.  In Christ I am redeemed and forgiven.  It is hard to see myself in that light, but that is how God sees me, because He sees me IN Christ. 

Lord, When you died on the Cross you died for the people of Calvados as well.  Lord, we pray that they too will know about the work of the Cross and believe in You through Your Blood and be part of the body of Christ in Him redeemed and forgiven, according to the riches of His grace.  We praise You in the Name of Jesus.  We ask for the Salvation of France in the Name of Jesus.  Amen.

In Him

1 Corinthians 15:22

For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.

Death and life seem to be a theme of Lent.  Lord, we pray at as spring comes to the nation of France they will see that we are all died in Adam but in Christ may be alive.  Lord, thank You for take us from death to life.  In Christ we have life.  Bring Life to France through the preaching of the good news of Calvary and the Resurrection.  Amen we have Life in Christ.  Amen.
