Day 181, 30 June 2025 

1) Obadiah , Psalms 82, 83

Obadiah 1
Obadiah
The book of Obadiah was likely written in the sixth century BC.
Its author is the prophet Obadiah, and it is the shortest book
in the Old Testament. Nothing is known about the prophet Obadiah
except the meaning of his name, "servant or worshipper of God."
This book has one theme-the condemnation of Edom.
Obadiah prophesied that Edom would be repaid for mistreating
God's people as this people (who were descendants from Esau)
took part in the sacking of Jerusalem with the Babylonians.
Obadiah emphasized that God is sovereign over all nations a
nd that the house of Jacob would someday be restored
because of God's covenant love for His people.
Judgment on Edom

Jer 49:9-16
The vision of Obadiah.
1 Thus says the Lord God concerning Edom
(We have heard a report from the Lord
and a messenger has been sent among the nations, saying:
"Rise up! Let us rise up against it for battle!"):
2 See, I will make you small among the nations;
you will be greatly despised.
3 The pride of your heart has deceived you,
you who live in the clefts of the rock,
whose dwelling is high;
you say in your heart,
"Who will bring me down to the ground?"
4 Though you ascend high like the eagle,
and though you set your nest among the stars,
I will bring you down from there,
says the Lord.
5 If thieves came to you,
if robbers by night-
how you have been destroyed!-
would they not steal only what they want?
If grape gatherers come to you,
would they not leave gleanings?
6 How the things of Esau have been ransacked!
How his hidden treasures hunted out!
7 All your confederates have driven you to the border;
your allies have deceived and prevailed against you.
Those who eat your bread have set a trap for you.
You will not detect it.
8 On that day, says the Lord,
I will destroy the wise out of Edom,
and understanding out of Mount Esau.
9 Your mighty men shall be shattered, OTeman,
so that everyone from Mount Esau will be cut off.

[1] The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning Edom; We have
heard a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen,
Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.
[2] Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly
despised.
[3] The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the
clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who
shall bring me down to the ground?
[4] Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest
among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD.
[5] If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!)
would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grapegatherers came
to thee, would they not leave some grapes?
[6] How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things
sought up!
[7] All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee even to the border: the
men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against
thee; they that eat thy bread have laid a wound under thee: there is none
understanding in him.
[8] Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, even destroy the wise men out
of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
[9] And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every
one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
Edom's Violence Against Jacob

10 For the slaughter and the violence done to your brother Jacob,
shame shall cover you,
and you shall be cut off forever.
11 On the day that you stood aside,
on the day that strangers carried off his wealth,
and foreigners entered his gates
and cast lots on Jerusalem,
you also were like one of them.
12 But you should not have gloated
on the day of your brother,
on the day of his misfortune;
you should not have rejoiced over the children of Judah
on the day of their destruction;
you should not have boasted
on the day of distress.
13 You should not have entered the gate of My people
on the day of their calamity.
You should not have gloated over the disaster of Judah [Heb. his.]
on the day of his calamity;
you should not have seized his wealth
on the day of his calamity.
14 You should not have stood at the crossroads
to cut off his fugitives;
you should not have handed over his survivors,
on the day of distress.

[10] For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and
thou shalt be cut off for ever.
[11] In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the
strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his
gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them.
[12] But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day
that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the
children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou
have spoken proudly in the day of distress.
[13] Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day
of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction
in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the
day of their calamity;
[14] Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of
his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his
that did remain in the day of distress.

The Day of the Lord Is Near

15 For the day of the Lord is near
upon all the nations;
as you have done, it shall be done to you;
your deeds shall return on your own head.
16 For as you have drunk on My holy mountain,
all the nations shall drink continually;
they shall drink and swallow
and shall be as though they had never been.
17 But on Mount Zion there shall be deliverance,
and it shall be holy;
and the house of Jacob shall possess
those who dispossessed them.Gk.; Heb. their possessions.
18 The house of Jacob shall be a fire,
the house of Joseph a flame,
but the house of Esau stubble;
they shall burn them and consume them,
and there shall be no survivors
from the house of Esau,
for the Lord has spoken.

[15] For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast
done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own
head.
[16] For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen
drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and
they shall be as though they had not been.
[17] But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness;
and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
[18] And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a
flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and
devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for
the LORD hath spoken it.

The Restoration of Israel

19 Those of the Negev shall possess
Mount Esau,
and those of the Shephelah the land
of the Philistines.
They shall possess the fields of Ephraim and the fields of Samaria,
and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.
20 The exiles of this army of the sons of Israel,
shall inherit the land of the Canaanites as far as Zarephath,
and the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad
shall inherit the cities of the Negev.
21 Saviours shall go up to Mount Zion
to rule Mount Esau,
and the kingdom shall be the Lord's.

[19] And they of the south shall possess the mount of Esau; and they of the
plain the Philistines: and they shall possess the fields of Ephraim, and the
fields of Samaria: and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.
[20] And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel shall possess
that of the Canaanites, even unto Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem,
which is in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.
[21] And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau;
and the kingdom shall be the LORD's.

(The Palestininans are Edomites)

they walk in darkness:
all the foundations of the earth are shaken."
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9 ) I have said, "You are gods,
sons of the Most High, all of you,
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) but you all shall die like men,
and fall like a man, O princes."
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) Arise, O God, judge the earth,

Selah.
[3] Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.

[5] They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness:

[6] I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
[7] But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

Psalms 83
A Song. A Psalm of Asaph.

1 Do not keep Your silence, O God;
do not hold Your peace or be still, O God.
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) For, look, Your enemies make an uproar,
and those who hate You have lifted up their heads.
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) They have given crafty counsel against Your people,
and have consulted against Your treasured ones.
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) They have said,
"Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation,
that the name of Israel may be no more remembered."
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) For they have conspired together;
they make a covenant against You-
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
even Moab and the Hagrites;
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) Gebal and Ammon and Amalek,
the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) Assyria also is joined with them,
they are the strength of the descendants of Lot. Selah
9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Do to them as You did to the Midianites,
as to Sisera and Jabin at the river of Kishon,
10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) who perished at Endor;
they became as dung for the ground.
11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb;
yes, all their princes as Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 who said, "Let us take for ourselves
the pastures of God as a possession."
13 O my God, make them like a tumbleweed,
as stubble before the wind.
14 As fire burns a forest,
and as the flame sets the mountains ablaze,
15 so pursue them with Your storm,
and make them afraid with Your hurricane.
16 Fill their faces with shame,
that they may seek your name, O Lord.
17 Let them be confounded and troubled forever;
yes, let them be put to shame and perish,
18 that they may know that You, whose name alone is the Lord,
are the Most High over all the earth.

Psalms 83
[1] Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O
God.
[2] For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have
lifted up the head.
[3] They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against
thy hidden ones.
[4] They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that
the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
[5] For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate
against thee:
[6] The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the
Hagarenes;
[7] Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of
Tyre;
[8] Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot.
Selah.
[9] Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the
brook of Kison:
[10] Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
[11] Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as
Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
[12] Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
[13] O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
[14] As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on
fire;
[15] So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy
storm.
[16] Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
[17] Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to
shame, and perish:
[18] That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most
high over all the earth.

Sleepless? </a> by Dave Branon
 
PSALMS 3
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.

1 Lord, how my foes have multiplied!
Many rise up against me!
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Many are saying about my life,
"There is no help for him in God." Selah
[Musical term for a pause or change in the music.]
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) But You, O Lord, are a shield for me,
my glory and the One who raises up my head.
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) I cried to the Lord with my voice,
and He answered me from His holy hill. Selah
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) I lay down and slept;
I awoke, for the Lord sustained me.
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) I will not be afraid of multitudes of people
who have set themselves against me all around.
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) Arise, O Lord;
save me, O my God!
For You have struck all my enemies on the cheek;
You have broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) Salvation belongs to the Lord.
Your blessing is on Your people. Selah

Psalms 3
[1] LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up
against me.
[2] Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God.
Selah.
[3] But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of
mine head.
[4] I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy
hill. Selah.
[5] I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
[6] I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set
themselves against me round about.
[7] Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies
upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
[8] Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people.
Selah. 

My friend confided that he hadn't been sleeping well. His sleeplessness 
was related to a difficult family situation that had kept him up at night. 
It happened that this was the day I was prepared to discuss 
Psalm 3 in my adult Sunday school class.

In Psalm 3, King David also had a family problem, one that would 
lead most of us to sleeplessness. His son Absalom was undermining 
David’s rule over Israel as part of his plan to overthrow him 
and snatch the crown for himself.

David was in despair. He fled Jerusalem after a messenger said, 
"the hearts of the people of Israel are with Absalom" (2 Samuel 15:13). 
In Psalm 3:1, David describes his situation: "Lord, how many are my foes!"

But notice how David found peace. He recalled that God was his shield 
of protection and that He "lifts [his] head" (v. 3). Then came the help 
we all need when we fret over our circumstances: David was able 
to "lie down and sleep." He observed, "I wake again, 
because the Lord sustains me" (v. 5).

For my friend facing a tough time, this was great news. 
And for all of us who face hard circumstances 
and sleepless nights, our God protects us and gives us rest. 
When we place our total trust in Him, He helps us "lie down and sleep" (v. 5).

Reflect & Pray

What is your "David moment" today? Instead of listening to those 
who distrust God (Psalm 3:2), how are you trusting His offer to protect you?

Heavenly Father, sometimes like David I exclaim, 
"How many are my foes!" But You're there for me. 
Please shield me, lift my head, and allow me 
to lie down and sleep.

Week 6 Showing Grace to Others - Day 2 - The key to the Prison Cell

Matt 6:14-15

14 For if you forgive men for their sins, your heavenly Father will
also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men for their sins,
neither will your Father forgive your sins.

14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will
also forgive you: 15 but if ye forgive not men their trespasses,
neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Ann had been badly wounded in a relationship that had ended in anger
and accusation. For more than a year, Ann nursed her bitterness, rallying
support for her attitudes from friends and colleagues. Any time she saw
her former friend, Ann put up an icy wall of hostility. She thought she was
"getting over" the hurt, but the very mention of her friend's name brought
back a flood of negative feelings. Ann was trapped, locked in a prison of
unforgiveness , a jail built block by block by her own unwillingness to
forgive. Ann didn't "get over it"; instead, her wounds festered
and her bitterness grew worse.
Then one day - she never knew how - Ann let go of her bitterness. The barriers
of hostility and anger melted away, and when she saw her friend again, she was
able to forgive. And Ann was finally able to turn to the Lord for her own
healing and forgiveness.
"If you do not forgive," Jesus says - and the statement falls hard on
unforgiving hearts, "Neither will you be forgiven." In one sense, God's
forgiveness is unconditional - we do not have to earn or deserve it, and it is
always available to us. But we cannot experience the forgiveness God has
extended to us when we harbour unforgiveness towards others and build walls
of bitterness in our hearts.
When we refuse forgiveness toward those who have hurt or betrayed us, we do
not keep them in bondage, but ourselves. We lock ourselves away for an
awareness of God's loving presence; we imprison ourselves in a cell of
revenge. But when we reach out to forgive, we turn in the lock;
the door is open for our own sins to be forgiven and our own hearts
cleansed and purified.

Application

a) Why is forgiving others a condition for experiencing forgiveness
in my own life?

b) How can these verses have a practical effect upon my willingness
to forgive others?

4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland

Luke 12:21

21 "So is he who stores up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."

21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

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

When you are Impatient

James 5:7-11

Patience and Prayer

7 Therefore be patient, brothers, until the coming of the Lord.
Notice how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth
and is patient with it until he receives the early and late rain.
8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts,
for the coming of the Lord is drawing near.
9 Do not grumble against one another, brothers, lest you be condemned.
Look, the Judge is standing at the door.
10 My brothers, take the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord,
as an example of suffering and patience.
11 Indeed we count them happy who endure.
You have heard of the patience of Job
and have seen the purpose of the Lord,
that the Lord is very gracious and merciful.

7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold,
the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long
patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord
draweth nigh.
9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned:
behold, the judge standeth before the door.
10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord,
for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience
of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful,
and of tender mercy.

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?)

Quebec

Quick facts on Muslims in Quebec

Quebec 2015 population  8214 000

est Muslim Population    418946

CNMM Networks:  Montreal

There is a growing Muslim population in Quebec City and a smattering
of Muslims scattered around the rest of the province, yet the vast majority
of Muslims live in the greater Montreal area. n fact, 23% of Canada's Muslim
population live in Quebec. Why is that? It is largely because Francophone
African Muslims are attracted to La Belle Provence.
And here's an interesting, perhaps even shocking fact: There are more 
Muslims in Montreal than there are evangelical Christians. 
This is one demographic factor creates a challenging environment for churches
and believers here: The size of the available 'workforce' is small 
by comparison to begin with. Believers are already is a host culture that
is often either indifferent to religion  or resistant to it.  And now 
this 'new'  religious community of Muslims - many of whom do not visibly 
or socially conform to Quebec society - are a growing population. It might br
easy for Christians to feel overwhelm by this cultural double-whammy, 
yet God has always worked miracles through the small, the few.
Agree in prayer for :

- The people of Quebec, Muslim or otherwise, to be open to the Gospel
- for Muslims who are encountering believers and responding
-for a new group of Muslim background believers who are meeting 
together for worship!
- For pastors and believers to be full of passion, faith and vision for
  reaching Muslims in Quebec.

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, ...) .

Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.

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.

b) Pray that in kindness God will lead many to repentance in your city
or community, and across our nation. (

Rom 2:4

4 (Ex 34:6; Isa 30:18) Do you despise the riches of His goodness,
tolerance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God
leads you to repentance?

4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance 
and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth 
thee to repentance?

)

Agree in prayer for Quebec:

- The people of Quebec, Muslim or otherwise, to be open to the Gospel
- for Muslims who are encountering believers and responding
-for a new group of Muslim background believers who are meeting 
together for worship!
- For pastors and believers to be full of passion, faith and vision for
  reaching Muslims in Quebec.

- 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!
