Day 118, 28 April 2025 

1) Psalms 102,103,104

PSALMS 102

A Prayer of one afflicted, when he is overwhelmed
and pours out his complaint before the Lord.

1 Hear my prayer, O Lord,
and let my cry come unto You.
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Do not hide Your face from me
in the day when I am in trouble;
incline Your ear to me;
in the day when I call answer me quickly.
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) For my days are consumed like smoke,
and my bones are burned as a furnace.
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) My heart is struck down and withered like grass,
so that I forget to eat my bread.
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Because of the sound of my groaning
my bones cling to my skin.
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) I am like an owl of the wilderness,
like a screech owl of the desert.
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) I stay awake and am
as a sparrow alone upon the housetop.
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) My enemies reproach me all the day,
and those who taunt me curse my name.
9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) For I have eaten ashes like bread
and mixed my drink with weeping,
10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) because of Your indignation and Your wrath,
for You have lifted me up, and cast me down.
11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) My days are like an evening shadow that vanishes,
and I wither away like grass.
12 But You, O Lord, shall endure forever enthroned
and Your reputation to all generations.
13 You shall arise, and have mercy upon Zion,
for the time to favor her,
indeed, the appointed time has come.
14 For Your servants take pleasure in her stones,
and have pity on her dust.
15 So the nations shall fear the name of the Lord,
and all the kings of the earth Your glory.
16 For the Lord shall build up Zion;
He shall appear in His glory.
17 He will regard the prayer of the destitute
and will not despise their prayer.
18 Let this be written for the generation to come,
that a people who shall be created shall praise the Lord.
19 For He has looked down from the height of His sanctuary;
from heaven the Lord looked down on the earth,
20 to hear the groaning of the prisoners
and to set free those who are appointed to death,
21 that they may declare the name of the Lord in Zion
and His praise in Jerusalem;
22 when the peoples are gathered together,
and the kingdoms, to serve the Lord.
23 He has weakened my strength in my midlife;
He has shortened my days.
24 I said,
"O my God, do not take me away in the midst of my days-
Your years endure throughout all generations."
25 From before You have laid the foundation of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of Your hands.
26 They shall perish, but You shall endure;
indeed, all of them shall wear out like a garment;
like a robe You shall change them,
and they shall pass away,
27 but You are the same,
and Your years shall have no end.
28 The children of Your servants shall be secure,
and their offspring shall be established before You.

Psalm 102
[1] Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.
[2] Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine
ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.
[3] For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.
[4] My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my
bread.
[5] By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.
[6] I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.
[7] I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
[8] Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me
are sworn against me.
[9] For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,
[10] Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up,
and cast me down.
[11] My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.
[12] But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all
generations.
[13] Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her,
yea, the set time, is come.
[14] For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust
thereof.
[15] So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of
the earth thy glory.
[16] When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.
[17] He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their
prayer.
[18] This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which
shall be created shall praise the LORD.
[19] For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven
did the LORD behold the earth;
[20] To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed
to death;
[21] To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;
[22] When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the
LORD.
[23] He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.
[24] I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years
are throughout all generations.
[25] Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are
the work of thy hands.
[26] They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax
old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be
changed:
[27] But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.
[28] The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be
established before thee.

PSALMS 103

A Psalm of David.

1 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me, bless His holy name.
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all His benefits,
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) who forgives all your iniquities,
who heals all your diseases,
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) who redeems your life from the pit,
who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) who satisfies your mouth with good things,
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) The Lord does righteousness
and justice for all who are oppressed.
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) He made known His ways to Moses,
His acts to the people of Israel.
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) The Lord is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.
9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) He will not always accuse,
neither will He keep his anger forever.
10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) He does not treat us according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.
11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) For as the heavens are high above the earth,
so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far has He removed our transgressions from us.
13 Like a father shows compassion to his children,
so the Lord gives compassion to those who fear Him.
14 For He knows how we are formed;
He remembers that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are as grass;
as a flower of the field he flourishes.
16 For the hot wind passes over it, and it is gone;
the place where it was is not known.
17 But the mercy of the Lord
is from everlasting to everlasting
upon those who fear Him,
and His righteousness to children's children,
18 to those who keep His covenant,
and to those who remember to do His commandments.
19 The Lord has established His throne in the heavens,
and His kingdom rules over all.
20 Bless the Lord, you His angels,
who are mighty, and do His commands,
and obey the voice of His word.
21 Bless the Lord, all you His hosts;
you servants who do His pleasure.
22 Bless the Lord, all His works,
in all places of His dominion.
Bless the Lord, O my soul!

Psalm 103
[1] Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy
name.
[2] Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
[3] Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
[4] Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with
lovingkindness and tender mercies;
[5] Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed
like the eagle's.
[6] The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are
oppressed.
[7] He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
[8] The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in
mercy.
[9] He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
[10] He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to
our iniquities.
[11] For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward
them that fear him.
[12] As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our
transgressions from us.
[13] Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that
fear him.
[14] For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
[15] As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he
flourisheth.
[16] For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof
shall know it no more.
[17] But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them
that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
[18] To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his
commandments to do them.
[19] The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom
ruleth over all.
[20] Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his
commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
[21] Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his
pleasure.
[22] Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the
LORD, O my soul.

PSALMS 104

1 Bless the Lord, O my soul!
O Lord my God, You are very great!
You are clothed with honor and majesty,
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) covering Yourself with light as a garment,
who stretches out the heavens like a tent curtain,
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) who lays the upper beams
of His chambers on the waters above,
who makes the clouds His chariot,
who rides upon the wings of the wind,
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) who makes His angels as winds,
His ministers a flaming fire.
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) You laid the earth on its foundations,
so that it should never be moved.
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) You covered it with the deep as a garment;
the waters stood above the mountains.
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) At Your rebuke they fled;
at the sound of Your thunder they departed away.
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6 ) The mountains rose up;
the valleys went down
to the place that You appointed them.
9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) You set a boundary that they may not pass over,
that they may not again cover the earth.
10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) You send the springs to gush forth in the valleys,
which flow between the hills.
11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) They give drink to every animal of the field;
the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12 By them the birds of the heavens have their habitation;
they sing among the branches.
13 You water the mountains from Your lofty chamber;
the earth is satisfied with the fruit of Your works.
14 You cause the grass to grow for the cattle
and plants for the cultivation of man,
that he may bring forth food from the earth
15 and wine that makes glad the heart of man,
and oil that makes shine his face,
and bread that strengthens his heart.
16 The trees of the Lord are well watered,
the cedars of Lebanon that He has planted,
17 where the birds make their nests,
where the stork has its home in the fir trees.
18 The high mountains are for the wild goats,
and the rocks a refuge for the badgers.
19 He set the moon to mark the appointed seasons;
the sun knows its time for going down.
20 You make darkness, and it is night,
when all the animals of the forest go forth.
21 The young lions roar after their prey
and seek their food from God.
22 When the sun arises, they gather themselves together
and lay down in their dens.
23 Man goes forth to his work
and to his labor until the evening.
24 O Lord, how manifold are Your works!
With wisdom You have made them all;
the earth is full of Your creatures-
25 so is this great and wide sea,
which is full of innumerable creatures,
living animals both small and great.
26 There go the ships,
and there is Leviathan, which You have made to play in it.
27 These all wait upon You,
that You may give them their food in due season.
28 When You give it to them,
they gather it;
when You open Your hand,
they are filled with good food.
29 When You hide Your face,
they are troubled;
You take away their breath,
and they die and return to their dust.
30 When You send forth Your Spirit,
they are created,
and You renew the surface of the ground.
31 May the glory of the Lord endure forever;
may the Lord rejoice in His works.
32 He looks on the earth, and it trembles;
He touches the mountains, and they smoke.
33 I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
34 May my meditation be sweet to Him,
for I will be glad in the Lord.
35 Let sinners be consumed from the earth,
and let the wicked be no more.
Bless the Lord, O my soul!
Praise the Lord!

Psalm 104
[1] Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art
clothed with honour and majesty.
[2] Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out
the heavens like a curtain:
[3] Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the
clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
[4] Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
[5] Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for
ever.
[6] Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood
above the mountains.
[7] At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
[8] They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place
which thou hast founded for them.
[9] Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not
again to cover the earth.
[10] He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
[11] They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench
their thirst.
[12] By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing
among the branches.
[13] He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with
the fruit of thy works.
[14] He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service
of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
[15] And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to
shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.
[16] The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he
hath planted;
[17] Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are
her house.
[18] The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the
conies.
[19] He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
[20] Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the
forest do creep forth.
[21] The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.
[22] The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in
their dens.
[23] Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.
[24] O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all:
the earth is full of thy riches.
[25] So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable,
both small and great beasts.
[26] There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to
play therein.
[27] These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due
season.
[28] That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are
filled with good.
[29] Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath,
they die, and return to their dust.
[30] Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the
face of the earth.
[31] The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in
his works.
[32] He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and
they smoke.
[33] I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my
God while I have my being.
[34] My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
[35] Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no
more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.

Psalms 121
A Song of Ascents.
1 I will lift up my eyes to the hills,
from where does my help come?
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) He will not let your foot slip;
He who keeps you will not slumber.
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) Behold, He who guards Israel
shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) The Lord is your guardian;
the Lord is your shade at your right hand.
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) The sun shall not harm you during the day,
nor the moon during the night.
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) The Lord shall protect you from all evil;
He shall preserve your soul.
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) The Lord shall preserve your going out
and your coming in from now and for evermore.

Psalm 121
A Song of degrees.
[1] I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills,
From whence cometh my help.
[2] My help cometh from the LORD,
Which made heaven and earth.
[3] He will not suffer thy foot to be moved:
He that keepeth thee will not slumber.
[4] Behold, he that keepeth Israel
Shall neither slumber nor sleep.
[5] The LORD is thy keeper:
The LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
[6] The sun shall not smite thee by day,
Nor the moon by night.
[7] The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil:
He shall preserve thy soul.
[8] The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in
From this time forth, and even for evermore. 

Trina received a free ticket to a sold-out event and tucked it into her Bible.
Later, her son saw her frantically searching through the pantry. When she 
explained that she'd lost her Bible, he asked why she was looking in the food 
cupboard. "Because I've looked everywhere else, and the event starts in thirty
minutes," she said. "I don't want to miss one moment." Her son chuckled. 
"Breathe, Mom," he said. "I think you're suffering from FOMO, the fear of 
missing out." She laughed. As her son joined the search, Trina's husband 
entered. "You left this in the car," he said, holding up the Bible.

While it's not wrong to enjoy unexpected blessings, big breaks, or 
once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, a desire for enjoyment can easily turn into 
a fear of missing out. We can even be tempted to think God holds out on us or 
loses sight of us. However, the "Maker of heaven and earth" (Psalm 121:2) is 
our ever-watchful and never-sleeping provider and protector (vv. 3-7). So we 
don't have to fret over detours, delays, or even missed opportunities. God 
will watch over our "coming and going both now and forevermore" (v. 8).

During times of affliction, seasons of abundance, and in every mundane moment 
God plans for us in-between, we're always in His line of sight. We won't miss 
out on anything God has planned for us to experience.

Reflect & Pray

How does being in God's line of sight impact your life? 
When has missing out on something led to an unexpected blessing?

Faithful God, thank You for keeping me in Your line of sight.

Week 1 Knowing God's Word Day 3 - Let the Word Dwell in You

Col 3:16

16 (Eph 5:19; Col 1:28; Ro 10:17) Let the word of Christ dwell
in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing
one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

16 Let the word of Christ dwell
in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing
one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

Every day, whether we are aware of it or not, our minds are
bombarded by 20th Century values: "Dress for success!" "Get ahead!"
"You deserve a break today ...." Television, radio, and the incessant
voices that surround us distract our attention and keep us from
focusing on what is really important in our lives.
Paul's instruction to the Colossian Church brings us back to God's
value system: "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly."
When we give attention to the Word of God, we put ourselves in a position
to hear a higher truth the clamour of immediate demands
and the expectations of the world around us. We can experience peace
in the midst of struggle and rest in a restless environment.
God's Word is a powerful force for good in our lives - not merely
an attractive philosophy, but true power to overcome the pressures
of daily life.
Dwelling on the Word of God, and letting it indwell us, takes many forms.
Scripture memory, music, meditation, talking with others about the
goodness of God all help us keep our attention focused on Christ rather
than on the values of the world around us.
We can choose to listen to Christian radio or tapes. We can take time
daily for quiet meditation on his Word. We can commit the Word to memory
and draw on its power during the day. And as we listen to the voice
of the Spirit rather than the noise around us, we can enter into
his peace and live in communion with him.

Application

a) What pressures do I face that tend to distract me from the reality
of Christ's presence?

b) How can I "let the word of Christ dwell richly" in me, so that I
an regain my focus on him?

c) What practical changes can I make in my life to help me focus
my attention on Jesus and his word? 

4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland

Proverbs 10:22

22 The blessing of the Lord makes rich ,and He adds no sorrow with it.

22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, And he addeth no sorrow with it.

5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:

When you are Saddened by Loss

1 Cor 15:35-38,51-57

35 But someone will say, "How are the dead raised up?
With what body do they come?"
36 You fool! What you sow is not made alive unless it dies.
37 When you sow, you do not sow the body that shall be, but a bare kernel,
perhaps of wheat or of some other grain.
38 Then God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body.

51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall
all be changed.
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet,
for the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed.
53 For tis corruptible will put on incorruption,
and this mortal will put on immortality.
54 When this corruptible will have put on incorruption,
and this mortal will have put on immortality,
then the saying that is written shall come to pass:
"Death is swallowed up in victory."
55 "O death, where is your sting?
O grave, where is your victory?"
56 The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through
our Lord Jesus Christ!

35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up?
and with what body do they come?
36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
37 and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be,
but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
38 but God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him,
and to every seed his own body.

51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall
all be changed,
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:
for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption,
and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption,
and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought
to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through
our Lord Jesus Christ.

Remember God's promises when You pray

The Lord's prayer

Matthew 6:9-13

9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."

9 After this manner therefore pray ye: 
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 
11 Give us this day our daily bread. 
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: 
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2022 edition?)

Manitoba

Quick facts on Muslims in Manitoba

Manitoba 2015 population  1 282 000

est Muslim Population      21 349

CNMM Networks: Winnipeg

The Muslim population of Manitoba, understandably centred in Winnipeg, is very
diverse and represents some 48 different cultural and ethnic backgrounds. 
Conservative estimates put their number at 21000 , with some suggesting 
it might be twice that size.
Some outreach among Muslims has started, yet in comparison to the size 
of this community, there is the need and opportunity for far more engagement.
Continued influx of new immigrants and refugees continues to see the growth
of this Muslim centre in Manitoba. 
We rejoice in the Arabic fellowship meeting there and the energetic workers
among Muslims in Winnipeg.

Let us intercede in unity for:

- new Christian workers among Manitoba's growing Muslim population
- new church ministries focused on prayer, equipping and reaching Muslim

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020

Under the Keep Praying page

When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.

For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.

You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"

Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:

- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]

Footnotes
Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."

Ideas for prayer

- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!

My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .
