I will awake at dawn!
3 Ps 79:10; 80:5 I will praise you, O Lord, among the peoples,

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) God has spoken in His sanctuary:
"I will triumph and will divide up Shechem
and portion out the Valley of Sukkoth.
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) Gilead is Mine; Manasseh is Mine;
Ephraim is My helmet;
Judah is My royal scepter;
9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Moab is My washbasin;
on Edom I throw My shoe;
over Philistia I shout in triumph."
10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) Who will bring me into the fortified city?
Who will lead me into Edom?
11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Have You not rejected us, O God?
You surely do not go out, O God, with our armies.
12 Grant us help against the foe,
for the help of man is worthless.
13 Through God we shall be valiant,
for He shall tread down our enemies.

Psalm 108
[1] O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my
glory.
[2] Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
[3] I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises
unto thee among the nations.
[4] For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto
the clouds.
[5] Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the
earth;
[6] That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer
me.
[7] God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem,
and mete out the valley of Succoth.
[8] Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine
head; Judah is my lawgiver;
[9] Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia
will I triumph.
[10] Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
[11] Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God,
go forth with our hosts?
[12] Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
[13] Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down
our enemies.

Psalms 109

For the Music Director. A Psalm of David.

1 Do not remain silent,
O God of my praise!
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) For the mouth of the wicked and deceitful
are opened against me;
they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) They encircled me with words of hatred
and fought against me without cause.
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) In return for my love they are my adversaries,
but I give myself to prayer.
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) They have rewarded me evil for good
and hatred for my love.
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) Set a wicked man against him,
and let an accuser stand at his right hand.
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3 ) When he shall be judged, let him be condemned,
and let his prayer be reckoned as sin.
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) Let his days be few,
and let another take his office.
9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Let his children be fatherless
and his wife a widow.
10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) Let his children be wandering beggars;
let them seek their bread far from their desolate places.
11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Let the creditor seize all that he has;
let the strangers plunder the fruit of his labor.
12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him,
neither let there be any to pity his fatherless children.
13 Let his posterity be cut off,
and in the generation following let his name be blotted out.
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the Lord,
and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
15 Let them be before the Lord continually,
that the Lord may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
16 For he did not remember to show kindness,
but pursued the poor and needy and broken-hearted
to their death.
17 As he loved cursing,
so let it come over him;
as he did not delight in blessing,
so let it be far from him.
18 As he clothed himself with cursing like a garment,
so let it soak into him like water,
and like oil into his bones.
19 Let it be unto him as the garment that covers him,
and a belt that he continually wears.
20 Let this be the reward of my adversaries from the Lord,
and of those who speak evil against my soul.
21 But You, O God my Lord,
work on my behalf for your name’s sake;
because your mercy is good, deliver me.
22 For I am poor and needy,
and my heart is wounded within me.
23 I am gone like a shadow in the evening;
I am tossed as the locust.
24 My knees are weak through fasting,
and my body is thin with no fat.
25 I am a reproach to my accusers;
when they look upon me, they shake their heads.
26 Help me, O Lord my God!
Save me according to Your mercy,
27 that they may know that this is by Your hand,
that You, O Lord, have done it.
28 Let them curse, but You will bless;
when they arise, let them be ashamed,
but let Your servant rejoice.
29 Let my adversaries be clothed with shame,
and let them cover themselves with their own disgrace like a cloak.
30 I will greatly praise the Lord with my mouth;
indeed, I will praise Him among the multitude.
31 For He stands at the right hand of the poor,
to save him from those who condemn his soul to death.

Psalm 109
[1] Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
[2] For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened
against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
[3] They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me
without a cause.
[4] For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.
[5] And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
[6] Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.
[7] When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become
sin.
[8] Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
[9] Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
[10] Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their
bread also out of their desolate places.
[11] Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil
his labour.
[12] Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to
favour his fatherless children.
[13] Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their
name be blotted out.
[14] Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let
not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
[15] Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory
of them from the earth.
[16] Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor
and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
[17] As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in
blessing, so let it be far from him.
[18] As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it
come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.
[19] Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle
wherewith he is girded continually.
[20] Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them
that speak evil against my soul.
[21] But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy
mercy is good, deliver thou me.
[22] For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
[23] I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as
the locust.
[24] My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.
[25] I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they
shaked their heads.
[26] Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:
[27] That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done
it.
[28] Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed;
but let thy servant rejoice.
[29] Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover
themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
[30] I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him
among the multitude.
[31] For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from
those that condemn his soul.

Psalms 110
A Psalm of David.
1 The Lord said to my lord,
"Sit at My right hand,
until I make your enemies
your footstool."
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) The Lord shall send your mighty scepter out of Zion;
rule in the midst of your enemies.
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Your people will follow you
in the day of your battle;
on the holy mountains
at dawn of the morning,
the dew of your youth belongs to you.
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) The Lord has sworn
and will not change,
"You are a priest forever
after the order of Melchizedek."
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) The Lord is at your right hand;
He shall strike down kings in the day of His wrath.
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) He shall judge among the nations;
He shall fill them with dead bodies;
He shall scatter heads all over the land.
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) He shall drink of the brook in the path;
then He shall lift up the head.

Psalm 110
[1] The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make
thine enemies thy footstool.
[2] The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in
the midst of thine enemies.
[3] Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of
holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
[4] The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever
after the order of Melchizedek.
[5] The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his
wrath.
[6] He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead
bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.
[7] He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the
head.

Love Worthy of Our Life </a> by Winn Collier

Matthew 16:21-28

Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection
Mk 8:31-9:1; Lk 9:22-27

21 (Mt 17:22-23; 27:63; 17:12) From that time on, Jesus began to show
His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things
from the elders and chief priests and scribes,
and be killed, and be raised on the third day.
22 Then Peter took Him and began rebuking Him, saying,
"Far be it from You, Lord! This shall not happen to You."
23 (Mt 4:10; Mk 8:33) But He turned and said to Peter,
"Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful
of the things that are of God, but those that are of men."
24 (Mt 10:38; Lk 14:27) Then Jesus said to His disciples,
"If anyone will come after Me, let him deny himself,
and take up his cross, and follow Me.
25 (Mt 10:39; Jn 12:25) For whoever would save his life will lose it,
and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
26 (Ps 49:7-8; Lk 12:20) For what will it profit a man
if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?
Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 (Ro 2:6; 2Co 5:10) For the Son of Man shall come with His angels
in the glory of His Father, and then He will repay every man
according to his works.
28 (Mt 10:23; 26:64) Truly I say to you, there are some standing here who
shall not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom."

[21] From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that
he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief
priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
[22] Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from
thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
[23] But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art
an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but
those that be of men.
[24] Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let
him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
[25] For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose
his life for my sake shall find it.
[26] For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose
his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
[27] For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his
angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
[28] Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not
taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

William Temple, a twentieth-century English bishop, once concluded a sermon to
Oxford students with the words of the hymn "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross."
But he cautioned against taking the song lightly. "If you mean [the words] 
with all your hearts, sing them as loud as you can," Temple said. "If you 
don't mean them at all, keep silent. If you mean them even a little, 
and want to mean them more, sing them very softly." The crowd went quiet as 
everyone eyed the lyrics. Slowly, thousands of voices began to sing in a 
whisper, mouthing the final lines with gravity: "Love so amazing, 
so divine / Demands my soul, my life, my all."

Those Oxford students understood the reality that believing in and following 
Jesus is a serious choice, because it means saying yes to a radical love that 
demands everything from us. Following Christ requires our entire life, our 
whole being. He plainly told His disciples, "Whoever wants to be my disciple 
must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me" (Matthew 16:24). 
No one should make this choice flippantly.

Yet following Jesus is also the way to our deepest joy. Life with Him, we'll 
discover, is the life we truly desire. It appears to be a great paradox. 
However, if we respond to God's love, believe in Christ, and relinquish 
our selfish, shortsighted demands, 
we'll find the life our soul craves (v. 25).

Reflect & Pray

What will believing in and following Jesus cost you? What will you gain?

Dear God, following You isn't easy, but I want to give You my life and my all.

Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 5 - Waiting for the Wind

Is 40:31

31 (2Co 4:16; Ps 103:5; Ex 19:4)
but those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary,
and they shall walk and not faint.

31 but they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary;
and they shall walk, and not faint.

High above civilisation, alone on his craggy peak, the eagle waits.
He watches, senses, and then, with effortless grace, he spreads
his wings and soars. He does not flap frantically to gain altitude,
he merely turns his wings into the wind and rises.
Is 40:31 promises that we, too, can be like the eagle,
mounting up on wings, soaring effortlessly,
without weariness. But this is not often our experience.
We usually flap around like invalid pigeons, scratching
for mere existence, flying only when our place in the park is disturbed.
We need to learn to wait on the Lord. Like the wind that raises the eagle
to the heights, the wind of the Spirit will lift us up as well - beyond
the weariness of daily life, beyond the struggle for existence, beyond
the plodding pace of normal interaction.
But the eagle does not rise without plunging for the cliff into the wind.
His ability to stay aloft is based on his understand of wind currents;
when the wind is against him, he rises. He waits on the cliff
until the right moment, then allows the contrary breezes to lift him up.
Most of us are grounded by the winds that are against us. We give up
and never take the first flight. We fear the plunge from the cliff into the
buoyant breath of God, and so we stand fixed, afraid to launch out.
But when we do take the risk, when we wait upon the Lord, and then
give ourselves in obedience to a free-fall from the cliffs of his will,
we discover that there is rest in soaring with him. We do not have to
struggle; we have only to fly, and in flying, to find new strength.

Application

a) Why is "waiting upon the Lord" essential
to "Mounting up with wings as the eagle"?

b) How can this verse help me be more willing to take risks in God's will? 

4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland

Mark 4:19

19 But the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches,
and the desires for other things entering in choke the word,
and it proves unfruitful.

19 and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches,
and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word,
and it becometh unfruitful.

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

When you are Burdened by Doubt

James 1:2 to 8

Faith and Wisdom

2 My brothers, count it all joy when you fall into diverse temptations,
3 knowing that the trying of your faith develops patience.
4 But let patience perfect its work, that you may be perfect and complete,
lacking nothing.
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men
liberally and without criticism, and it will be given to him.
6 But let him ask in faith, without wavering. For he who wavers
is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed with the wind.
7 Let not that man think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
8 A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.

2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3 knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect
and entire, wanting nothing.
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men
liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth
is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

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?)

Ontario

Quick facts on Muslims in Ontario

Ontario 2015 population  13 687 7000

est Muslim Population     1 001 542

CNMM Networks:  Ottawa, Durham, York, Toronto, Mississauga, Halton, Hamilton,
                                   Niagara, Kitchener, London, Windsor

Ontario has 55% of all of Canada's entire Muslim population. This means that 
the whole of the Muslim world is represented somewhere in this province. Most
Muslims are understandably located along the southern border stretching
from Windsor eastward all the way up to Ottawa. Yet Muslims are constantly 
resettling in more and more suburban and even small towns of Ontario. Mosques 
are springing up, and where there are enough gathered, Islamic schools 
are starting.
And they're not complacent, either. Many Islamic leaders are energetic in their
advancement of Islam in Canadian society. Recently in the Niagara Region,
the local mosque distributed via Canada Post as many as 50000 full-colour 
brochures on Islam. An that mosque's Facebook page proudly show pictures of 
"reverts", or white Canadians who have converted to Islam as a result of
receiving the flier and engaging with the mosque community.  Another town 
reports  Muslims going door-to-door evangelism.
Agree in prayer for:

- net network leaders - the need is great
- the development of network leadership teams
- good connections with local pastors, congregations and individuals 
  whom God is calling into this ministry.
- wisdom facilitating outreach and training activities for mobilising 
   believers
- new full and part-time workers among Muslims throughout all these areas
- for pastors and churches to respond not in fear, but full of faith and love
  towards Muslims, sharing Jesus with them.

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! 

And 

Thank you for praying through the
5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.

"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager, 
I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to
cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.

Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians 
and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the
love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before. 
One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by
light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.

As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and
confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution 
to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.

Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction. 
Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father
to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.

I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.
God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through 
the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom 
and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."

13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy 
and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope, 
through the power of the Holy Spirit.

[13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that
ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. 

ROMANS 15:13

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, ...) .

2 Cor 10: 3 - 5

4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God
to the pulling down of strongholds, 
5 casting down imaginations and every
high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every
thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
