Day 116, 26 April 2025 1) Psalms 81,88,92,93 PSALMS 81 For the Music Director. According to The Gittith. A Psalm of Asaph. 1 Sing aloud unto God our strength; make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob. 2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Lift up a melody, and sound the tambourine, the pleasant lyre with the harp. 3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Blow the trumpet at the New Moon, at the full moon on our feast day. 4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) For this is a statute for Israel, a decree of the God of Jacob. 5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) This He ordained in Joseph as a decree when He went out against the land of Egypt. I heard a voice that I had not known: 6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) "I removed his shoulder from the burden; his hands were released from holding the basket. 7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) You called in trouble, and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah 8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) Hear, O My people, and I will testify against you. O Israel, if you would listen to me! 9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) There shall be no strange god among you; neither shall you bow down to any strange god. 10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt; open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. 11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) "But My people would not listen to My voice; Israel would not submit to Me. 12 So I gave them up to their stubborn hearts, to walk in their own counsels. 13 "Oh, that My people would listen to Me, and Israel would follow in My ways! 14 I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn My hand against their adversaries. 15 Let those who hate the Lord cower before Him and their fate might last forever. 16 But I would feed them with the finest of wheat, and with honey out of the rock I would satisfy you." Psalm 81 [1] Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob. [2] Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery. [3] Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day. [4] For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob. [5] This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not. [6] I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots. [7] Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah. [8] Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me; [9] There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god. [10] I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. [11] But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me. [12] So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels. [13] Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways! [14] I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries. [15] The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever. [16] He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee. PSALMS 88 For the Music Director. A Song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. To the melody of "Suffering of Affliction." A Contemplative Maskil of Heman the Ezrahite. 1 O Lord, God of my salvation, I cry out day and night before You. 2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Let my prayer come before You; incline Your ear to my cry. 3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draws near to Sheol. 4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) I am counted with those who go down to the grave; I am a man who has no strength, 5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) like one who is set free among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, like those whom You remember no more, for they are cut off from Your hand. 6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) You have laid me in the depths of the pit, in dark and deep regions. 7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) Your wrath lies heavy upon me, and You have afflicted me with all Your waves. Selah 8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) You have caused my companions to be far from me; You have made me an abomination to them; I am shut up, and I cannot escape; 9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) my eye is dim from my affliction. Lord, I call daily upon You, and I have stretched out my hands to You. 10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) Will You show wonders to the dead? Shall the dead rise up to praise You? Selah 11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Shall Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave, or your faithfulness in Abaddon? 12 Shall Your wonders be known in the darkness or Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? 13 But unto You have I cried, O Lord, and in the morning my prayer comes before You. 14 O Lord, why do You cast away my soul? Why do You hide Your face from me? 15 I am afflicted and close to death since my youth; while I suffer Your terrors I am helpless. 16 Your fierce wrath sweeps over me; Your terrors destroy me. 17 They come around me daily like a flood; they encircle me together. 18 You have caused to be far from me my lovers and friends, and my companion is darkness. Psalm 88 [1] O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee: [2] Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry; [3] For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave. [4] I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength: [5] Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand. [6] Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps. [7] Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah. [8] Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth. [9] Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee. [10] Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah. [11] Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction? [12] Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? [13] But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee. [14] LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me? [15] I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted. [16] Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off. [17] They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together. [18] Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness. PSALMS 92 A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath day. 1 It is good to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises unto Your name, O Most High: 2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) to declare forth Your lovingkindness in the morning and Your faithfulness in the night, 3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) on a ten-stringed lute and on the harp, and on the lyre with a solemn sound. 4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) For you, O Lord, have made me glad through Your work; I will sing joyfully at the works of Your hands. 5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) O Lord, how great are Your works! Your thoughts are very deep! 6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) A brutish man does not recognize, neither does the fool understand this. 7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) Though the wicked spring up as the grass and all those who do iniquity flourish, they shall be destroyed forever: 8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) But You, O Lord, are on high forever. 9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) For Your enemies, O Lord, for Your enemies shall perish; all those who do iniquity shall be scattered. 10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) But my horn You have exalted like the horn of the wild ox; You have anointed me with fresh oil. 11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) My eyes also shall see the downfall of my enemies, and my ears shall hear the doom of my wicked adversaries. 12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon. 13 Those that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. 14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be filled with vitality and foliage, 15 to show that the Lord is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. Psalm 92 [1] It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: [2] To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, [3] Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound. [4] For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. [5] O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep. [6] A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this. [7] When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever: [8] But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore. [9] For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. [10] But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. [11] Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me. [12] The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. [13] Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. [14] They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing; [15] To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. PSALMS 93 1 The Lord reigns; He is robed in majesty; the Lord is robed; He has put on strength as His belt. Indeed, the world is established; it cannot be moved. 2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Your throne is established of old; You are from everlasting. 3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) The floods have lifted up, O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their roaring waves. 4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yes, than the mighty waves of the sea. 5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Your statutes are very sure; holiness is becoming to Your house, O Lord, forever. Psalm 93 [1] The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved. [2] Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting. [3] The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves. [4] The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea. [5] Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever. 2) Our Daily Bread for 26 April 2025 titled <a href=" https://www.odbm.org/devotionals/devotional-category/actionnot-distraction"> Action - Not Distraction </a> by Tom Felten Joshua 1:1-9 The Lord Commissions Joshua 1 (Ex 24:13; Dt 1:38) Now after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord spoke to Joshua son of Nun, the assistant of Moses: 2 "Moses My servant is dead, so now get up and cross over the Jordan -you and all this people-to the land that I am giving to the children of Israel. 3 (Dt 11:24; Jos 14:9) I have given you every place that the sole of your foot shall tread, as I said to Moses. 4 (Ex 23:31) From the wilderness and this Lebanon, as far as the great river, the River Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Mediterranean Sea toward the setting of the sun will be your territory. 5 (Dt 7:24; 31:6-8) No man will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, I will be with you. I will not abandon you. I will not leave you. 6 (Jos 1:7; 1:9) "Be strong and courageous, for you shall provide the land that I swore to their fathers to give them as an inheritance for this people. 7 (Dt 5:32; 28:14) Be strong and very courageous, in order to act carefully in accordance with all the law that My servant Moses commanded you. Do not turn aside from it to the right or the left, so that you may succeed wherever you go. 8 (Ps 19:14; 119:15) This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth. Meditate on it day and night so that you may act carefully according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way successful, and you will be wise. 9 (Ge 28:15; Dt 31:7-8) Have not I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." [1] Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying, [2] Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. [3] Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses. [4] From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast. [5] There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. [6] Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. [7] Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. [8] This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. [9] Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. A school bus driver passed out at the wheel, and his large vehicle loaded with sixty students was careening out of control. Seventh grader Dillon Reeves burst from his seat, rushed to the front of the bus, and slowly stepped on the brake in the nick of time. While most students were busy texting or playing games on their phones, Dillon - who didn't have a phone - had his head up and reacted. He knew to depress the brake slowly as he'd seen the driver do many times. Remaining alert and not distracted helped him save the lives of all aboard, including the driver who later revived. Joshua had to step up courageously after his leader, Moses, was no longer "in the driver's seat" - leading the people of Israel. God said to him, "Moses my servant is dead. Now . . . get ready" (Joshua 1:2). What's more, He instructed, "Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to . . . not turn from [the Book of the Law] to the right or to the left" (v. 7). God was telling Joshua not to get distracted and to keep his focus, and to keep his eyes on the instructions He'd given - meditating on them "day and night" (v. 8). We can be distracted by screens and other things that cause us to take our eyes off God and the wisdom found in Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Instead, as we remain alert "by keeping our eyes on Jesus" (Hebrews 12:2 nlt), we can spring into action when God calls. Reflect & Pray Why is it vital to keep your eyes on Christ? How can you be ready for His call today? Dear Jesus, please help me to avoid distractions as I follow You. <a href= "https://reclaimtoday.org/ways-to-hear-from-god-how-to-listen-for-his-voice/"> Learn how to listen for God's voice by reading Ways to Hear From God.</a> 3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools Week 4 - The Blessings of Grace Day 7 God's Bulldozer - Luke 3:5-6 5 (Isa 40:4; 42:16) Every valley shall be filled and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight and the rough ways shall be made smooth; 6 (Isa 40:5; 52:10) and all flesh shall see the salvation of God. 5 Every valley shall be filled, And every mountain and hill shall be brought low; And the crooked shall be made straight, And the rough ways shall be made smooth; 6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. When a new highway is being constructed, the roads crew work hard in preparing for the new surface to be laid. Giant bulldozers cut through the hillsides, moving earth, leveling, filling, evening the path out where the roadway will run. When the work is first begun, if often looks like chaos: and even after the highway begins to take shape, the land is still ugly, scarred by the unsightly gashes cut through the landscape. Yet after the work is completed and the grass and trees are replanted, we forget the temporary upheaval and see only the beauty of the land and the convenience of the new roadway. In Luke 3:5-6, John the Baptist presents a prophecy of the coming of Christ, a prophecy quoted from Isaiah 40:3-5 . The prophecy speaks of the preparation of the world for the coming Messiah, but is also applies to the preparation of the individual heart to receive him. Sometimes, the Holy Spirit must do major work in our hearts to prepare us for the coming of Christ into our live. Like a bulldozer, he brings down the mountains of pride in our lives. He fill the empty places , corrects the crooked, grades down the rough edges of our hearts. Often this is not pleasant work. We prefer to maintain the rugged landscape of Self, and we do not like the ugly scars that are left after the bulldozer has done its job. But if we submit to the Spirit's "Construction work" in us, the way will be paved for the Lord to enter into our lives, and others will see in us, the way be paved for the Lord to enter into our lives, and other will see in us the glory and salvation of our God. Application a) What "construction work" has to Holy Spirit done in me? b) What restoration has taken place because of that work? c) How do today's verses help me put in perspective the work God still want to do in me? 4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland Deut 30:19-20 19 (Dt 4:26; 30:1) I call heaven and earth to witnesses against you this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; 20 (Dt 10:20; Ps 27:1) that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land that the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them. 19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: 20 that thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them. 5) From a Book called God's Promises for you: God's Freeing Forgiveness Ps 103:1-14 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. Psalm 103 A Psalm of David. 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. 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 communities around them, as well as training new workers - the Arabic fellowship and their ministries of discipling new Muslim background believers and for effectiveness in outreach - for the recent Somali woman who found faith in Jesus and stood her ground in the face of opposition to her new faith. - for current workers among Muslims to be blessed, refreshed and encouraged with great support Adding further 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, ...) . 7) Prayers for the nation (Canada) coming from Prayer map of Canada http://www.ehc.ca Day 26 of the Month a) Pray that Christians in the marketplace will demonstrate exemplary work ethics and shine as witnesses of Christ (Matt 5:16 16 Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. ) b) Pray for the Northwest Territories, Yukon and Nunavut I) Pray for the leaders of Northwest Territories, Yukon and Nunavut, that God's Spirit would influence then to act justly, serve with integrity and honour high moral standards.
