France’s “City of Lights” has become a hotbed for riots.
Over the last two weeks, protests consumed some Paris suburbs after a 17-year-old North African teen was shot by French police.
Several young protestors have incited riots, looting, and vandalism. The turmoil points to:
Racial/immigrant tensions
Class tensions
Youth delinquency
Yet, these can’t be meaningfully addressed without looking at France’s great spiritual need!
The “Christian” label claimed by over half of France is often just that: A label. Only 8% of French people regularly attend church. Over 80% have never handled a Bible.
It’s not that they haven’t heard the Gospel. But secularism saturates almost every area of French culture.
Lord, please soften the hearts of these beautiful, beloved people. Stir a NEW DESIRE across France for Your Truth and Peace!
Together let's watch and pray,

Almighty God, please touch the hearts of the French people. Open their eyes their hearts, their minds, their spirits, and their souls to their great need for You. Help them to return to You Almighty God! In Jesus name, amen.
