    1) Job 24, Job 25, JOb 26, Job 27

    Job 24

    1 (Ac 1:7) "Since times of judgment are not kept by the Almighty,
    why do they who know Him not see His days?
    2(Dt 19:14; 27:17) Some remove the landmarks;
    they violently take away flocks and feed on them.
    3 (Dt 24:6) They drive away the donkey of the orphan;
    they take the widow's ox for a pledge.
    4 (Pr 28:28; Job 24:14) They turn away the needy;
    the poor of the earth are forced to hide.
    5 (Job 39:5-7; Ps 104:23) Behold, as wild donkeys in the desert,
    they go out to their work, rising early for a prey.
    The wilderness yields food for them and for their children.
    6 They gather their fodder in the field,
    and they glean in the vineyard of the wicked.
    7 (Ex 22:26-27; Job 22:6) They cause the naked to lodge without clothing,
    and they have no covering in the cold.
    8 (La 4:5) They are wet with the showers of the mountains
    and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
    9 They snatch the fatherless from the breast
    and take a pledge from the poor.
    10 They cause him to go naked without clothing,
    and they take away the sheaf from the hungry.
    11 They press out oil within their walls
    and tread their winepresses, yet suffer thirst.
    12 Men groan from outside the city,
    and the soul of the wounded cries out;
    yet God does not charge them with wrong.
    13 (Jn 3:19-2)0 "They are those who rebel against the light;
    they do not know its ways
    nor abide in its paths.
    14 The murderer, rising with the light, kills the poor and needy,
    and in the night he is like a thief.
    15 (Ps 10:11) Also the eye of the adulterer waits for the twilight,
    saying, 'No eye will see me';
    and he disguises his face.
    16 (Jn 3:20) In the dark they break into houses,
    which they had marked for themselves in the daytime;
    they do not know the light.
    17 (Job 3:5) For the morning is the same to them as the shadow of death;
    if someone recognizes them,
    they are in the terrors of the shadow of death.
    18 "He is swift as the waters.
    Their portion is cursed in the earth.
    They do not turn toward the way of the vineyards.
    19 (Job 21:13) Drought and heat consume the snow waters;
    so the grave consumes those who have sinned.
    20 (Pr 10:7; Da 4:14) The womb will forget him;
    the worm will feed sweetly on him;
    he will be remembered no more,
    and wickedness will be broken like a tree.
    21 He preys on the barren who do not bear,
    and does no good for the widow.
    22 But God draws the mighty away with His power;
    He rises up, and no man is sure of life.
    23 (Pr 15:3) He gives them security, and they rely on it;
    yet His eyes are on their ways.
    24 (Ps 37:10) They are exalted for a little while but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way like all others
    and cut off as the tops of the grain.
    25 (Job 9:24) "If it is not so, who will prove me a liar
    and make my speech worth nothing?"

    Job 24
    1 Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty,
    Do they that know him not see his days?
    2 Some remove the landmarks;
    They violently take away flocks, and feed thereof.
    3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless,
    They take the widow's ox for a pledge.
    4 They turn the needy out of the way:
    The poor of the earth hide themselves together.
    5 Behold, as wild asses in the desert,
    Go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey:
    The wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children.
    6 They reap every one his corn in the field:
    And they gather the vintage of the wicked.
    7 They cause the naked to lodge without clothing,
    That they have no covering in the cold.
    8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains,
    And embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
    9 They pluck the fatherless from the breast,
    And take a pledge of the poor.
    10 They cause him to go naked without clothing,
    And they take away the sheaf from the hungry;
    11 Which make oil within their walls,
    And tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
    12 Men groan from out of the city,
    And the soul of the wounded crieth out:
    Yet God layeth not folly to them.
    13 They are of those that rebel against the light;
    They know not the ways thereof,
    Nor abide in the paths thereof.
    14 The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy,
    And in the night is as a thief.
    15 The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight,
    Saying, No eye shall see me:
    And disguiseth his face.
    16 In the dark they dig through houses,
    Which they had marked for themselves in the daytime:
    They know not the light.
    17 For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death:
    If one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death.
    18 He is swift as the waters;
    Their portion is cursed in the earth:
    He beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.
    19 Drought and heat consume the snow waters:
    So doth the grave those which have sinned.
    20 The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him;
    He shall be no more remembered;
    And wickedness shall be broken as a tree.
    21 He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not:
    And doeth not good to the widow.
    22 He draweth also the mighty with his power:
    He riseth up, and no man is sure of life.
    23 Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth;
    Yet his eyes are upon their ways.
    24 They are exalted for a little while, but are gone
    And brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other,
    And cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.
    25 And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar,
    And make my speech nothing worth?

    (The Lord knows everything)

    Job 25
    Bildad Speaks: Man Cannot Be Righteous
    1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered:
    2 "Dominion and fear are with Him;
    He makes peace in His high places.
    3 (Jas 1:17; Mt 5:45) Is there any number to His armies?
    And upon whom does His light not rise?
    4 (Job 9:2; 4:17-19) How then can man be righteous with God?
    Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?
    5 Behold, even the moon does not shine,
    and the stars are not pure in His sight;
    6 (Ps 22:6; Isa 41:14) how much less man, who is a maggot?
    And the son of man, who is a worm?"

    Job 25
    Bildad's Speech

    1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
    2 Dominion and fear are with him,
    He maketh peace in his high places.
    3 Is there any number of his armies?
    And upon whom doth not his light arise?
    4 How then can man be justified with God?
    Or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?
    5 Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not;
    Yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.
    6 How much less man, that is a worm?
    And the son of man, which is a worm?

    (Man is sinful, yes, but the Lord makes a way)

    Job 26

    Job Replies: God's Majesty Is Unsearchable

    1 But Job answered:
    2 "How have you helped him who is without power?
    How have you saved the arm that has no strength?
    3 How have you counseled him who has no wisdom?
    And how have you plentifully declared sound knowledge?
    4 To whom have you uttered words?
    And whose breath came from you?
    5 (Ge 6:4; Ps 88:10) "The departed spirits tremble under the waters,
    and their inhabitants.
    6 (Ps 139:8; Pr 15:11) The underworld is naked before Him,
    and destruction has no covering.
    7 (Job 9:8; Ge 1:1-2) He stretches out the north over empty space,
    He hangs the earth upon nothing.
    8 (Pr 30:4) He binds up the waters in His thick clouds,
    and the cloud is not broken under them.
    9 (Ps 97:2) He covers the face of the full moon
    and spreads His cloud over it.
    10 (Job 38:8-11; Pr 8:29) He has circled the waters with boundaries,
    until the day and night come to an end.
    11 The pillars of heaven tremble
    and are astonished at His reproof.
    12 (Isa 51:15; Jer 31:35) He divides the sea with His power,
    and by His understanding He strikes through the proud.
    13 (Isa 27:1; Ge 1:2) By His breath He has made fair the heavens;
    His hand has formed the fleeing serpent.
    14 Indeed, these are but a part of His ways,
    and how small a whisper we hear of Him!
    But the thunder of His power who can understand?"

    Job's Reply

    1 But Job answered and said,
    2 How hast thou helped him that is without power?
    How savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
    3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom?
    And how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
    4 To whom hast thou uttered words?
    And whose spirit came from thee?
    5 Dead things are formed
    From under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
    6 Hell is naked before him,
    And destruction hath no covering.
    7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place,
    And hangeth the earth upon nothing.
    8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds;
    And the cloud is not rent under them.
    9 He holdeth back the face of his throne,
    And spreadeth his cloud upon it.
    10 He hath compassed the waters with bounds,
    Until the day and night come to an end.
    11 The pillars of heaven tremble
    And are astonished at his reproof.
    12 He divideth the sea with his power,
    And by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
    13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens;
    His hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
    14 Lo, these are parts of his ways:
    But how little a portion is heard of him?
    But the thunder of his power who can understand?

    Job 27
    Job's Last Words to His Friends
    1 (Nu 23:7; Job 29:1)Moreover Job continued his discourse:
    2 (Job 34:5; 2Ki 4:27) "As God lives, who has taken away my judgment,
    and the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter,
    3 (Ge 2:7; Job 33:4) all the while my spirit is in me,
    and the breath of God is in my nostrils,
    4 (Job 13:7) my lips will not speak wickedness,
    nor my tongue utter deceit.
    5 (Job 2:9; 13:15) God forbid that I should justify you.
    Until I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
    6 (Job 2:3; Ac 24:16) My righteousness I hold fast and will not let it go;
    my heart will not reproach me as long as I live.
    7 "Let my enemy be like the wicked,
    and he who rises up against me like the unrighteous.
    8 (Job 11:20; 8:13) For what is the hope of the hypocrite,
    though he may gain much, when God takes away his soul?
    9 (Pr 1:28; Isa 1:15) Will God hear his cry
    when trouble comes upon him?
    10 (Job 22:26-27; Ps 37:4) Will he delight himself in the Almighty?
    Will he always call upon God?
    11 "I will teach you about the hand of God;
    what is with the Almighty I will not conceal.
    12 Look, all of you have seen it;
    why then have you become altogether vain?
    13 "This is the portion of a wicked man with God,
    and the inheritance that oppressors receive from the Almighty:
    14 (Dt 28:41) If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword,
    and his offspring will not be satisfied with bread.
    15 (Ps 78:64) Those who survive him will be buried in death,
    and their widows will not weep.
    16 (Zec 9:3) Though he heaps up silver like the dust
    and piles up clothing like the clay,
    17 (Ecc 2:26; Pr 13:22) he may pile it up, but the just will wear it,
    and the innocent will divide the silver.
    18 (Job 8:14-15; Isa 1:8) He builds his house like a moth,
    and like a booth that the watchman makes.
    19 (Job 24:24; Jer 8:2) The rich man will lie down, but he will not be gathered;
    he opens his eyes, and he is not.
    20 (Job 15:21; 18:11) Terrors overtake him like floodwaters;
    a tempest steals him away in the night.
    21 The east wind carries him away, and he departs;
    it sweeps him out of his place.
    22 For God will cast it upon him and not spare;
    he would flee from its power.
    23 (La 2:15; Zep 2:15) Men will clap their hands at him
    and will hiss him out of his place.

    Job 27

    1 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
    2 As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment;
    And the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;
    3 All the while my breath is in me,
    And the spirit of God is in my nostrils;
    4 My lips shall not speak wickedness,
    Nor my tongue utter deceit.
    5 God forbid that I should justify you:
    Till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.
    6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go:
    My heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
    7 Let mine enemy be as the wicked,
    And he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
    8 For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained,
    When God taketh away his soul?
    9 Will God hear his cry
    When trouble cometh upon him?
    10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty?
    Will he always call upon God?
    11 I will teach you by the hand of God:
    That which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
    12 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it;
    Why then are ye thus altogether vain?
    13 This is the portion of a wicked man with God,
    And the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.
    14 If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword:
    And his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
    15 Those that remain of him shall be buried in death:
    And his widows shall not weep.
    16 Though he heap up silver as the dust,
    And prepare raiment as the clay;
    17 He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on,
    And the innocent shall divide the silver.
    18 He buildeth his house as a moth,
    And as a booth that the keeper maketh.
    19 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered:
    He openeth his eyes, and he is not.
    20 Terrors take hold on him as waters,
    A tempest stealeth him away in the night.
    21 The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth:
    And as a storm hurleth him out of his place.
    22 For God shall cast upon him, and not spare:
    He would fain flee out of his hand.
    23 Men shall clap their hands at him,
    And shall hiss him out of his place.

    John 6:5-15

    The Feeding of the Five Thousand
    Mt 14:13-21; Mk 6:30-44; Lk 9:10-17

    5 When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming to Him, He said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread that these may eat?"
    6 He said this to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do.
    7 Philip answered Him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for each of them to receive but a little."
    8 One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him,
    9 "There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two small fish.
    But what are they among so many?"
    10 Jesus said, "Make the people sit down." Now there was much grass
    in the place. So the men sat down, numbering about five thousand.
    11 Jesus then took the loaves, and when He had given thanks,
    He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those who
    were sitting down; and likewise, they distributed the fish,
    as much as they wanted.
    12 When they were filled, He told His disciples, "Collect the fragments
    that remain, that nothing may be lost."
    13 So they collected them and filled twelve baskets with the fragments
    of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.
    14 When those men saw the sign which He had done, they then said,
    "This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world."
    15 Therefore, knowing that they would come and take Him by force
    to make Him king, Jesus departed again to a mountain by Himself alone.

    [5] When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto
    him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
    [6] And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
    [7] Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient
    for them, that every one of them may take a little.
    [8] One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,
    [9] There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small
    fishes: but what are they among so many?
    [10] And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
    [11] And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed
    to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise
    of the fishes as much as they would.
    [12] When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the
    fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
    [13] Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with
    the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.
    [14] Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said,
    This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.
    [15] When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by
    force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.

    On December 9, 1987, a squirrel chewed through a power line in Connecticut, and the Nasdaq's vast financial machinery blinked, sighed, and went dark.
    Some of the world's largest corporations stood limp and listless. Global economies watched, sweating bullets for nearly an hour and a half.
    All because of one tenacious, furry rodent.

    Scripture tells many stories of something or someone small making a big impact. But God can turn meagerness into something mighty. John recounts how Jesus fed a hungry crowd (five thousand men, probably fifteen thousand with women and children included) when "a boy with five small barley loaves
    and two small fish" handed over his small lunch (John 6:9). In the Old Testament we remember that a young shepherd boy named David trusted God and slayed a giant (1 Samuel 17). And Christ repeatedly insisted that the kingdom of God is something like a mustard
    seed, "the smallest of all seeds" (Matthew 13:32).

    When we ponder the many complex global crises in addition to the bewildering concerns in our own neighbourhoods and families, we're tempted to believe that our seemingly small efforts lack power. But Scripture tells us to act in obedience and trust as God helps us - assured that with Him, small things
    can become mighty (John 6:10-12).

    Reflect & Pray

    Where do you feel small or powerless?
    How do you sense God inviting you to surrender your smallness to Him?

    Dear God, I often feel small, with nothing to offer.
    Please help me remember that with You, small things become mighty.

    3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation

    Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools

    Week 1 Knowing God's Word Day 5 - Learning by Heart

    Ps 119:9,11

    9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) How shall a young man keep his way pure?
    By keeping it according to Your word.
    11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Your word I have hidden in my heart,
    that I might not sin against You.

    9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way?
    By taking heed thereto according to thy word.
    11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart,
    That I might not sin against thee.

    "His heart is not just in it," a gifted musician commented about the
    pianist onstage. "He's here at the Orchestra Hall, playing for
    thousands of people, an his technique is flawless, but something
    is missing - his heart is just not in it."
    The psalmist , in Psalm 119, draws a similar parallel. We "Keep our
    way pure" through obedience of his Word, by ordering our lives according
    to the commands of the Scriptures. But outward behaviour is not the only essential factor in purity of life. The changes in our behaviour need to
    come from the heart, from the inside out. Our "technique" for living
    the Christian life may be flawless, but our obedience is founded
    in heart motivation, something is certainly missing.
    "I seek you with all my heart," the psalmist declares in verse 10.
    Thus he can say in verse 11, "Your word I have hidden in my heart,
    that I might not sin against You."
    Often we refer to memorisation as "learning by heart" - and indeed
    "by heart" is the biblical mandate for assimilating God's truth
    into our daily lives. "By rote" or "By Mind" leaves us
    intellectually overstuffed, yet spiritually starving.
    When we try to apply the Word outwardly to our behaviour,
    we end up in a tangle of legalism, a log "do list" by which
    we hope to please God. But when we set our hearts toward God first,
    then changes in our behaviour grow out of love for God and a deep
    desire to serve him. Then we are truly loving and obeying God with
    our whole hearts.

    Application

    a) In what ways have I tried to apply God's word to my behaviour
    without having the truth firmly in my heart? What was the result?

    b) How can I set my heart toward God and give myself more fully
    to his Word?

    c) What areas of my life need "purifying"? How can these verses
    help me to "make my way pure"?

    4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland

    Philip 4:19

    19 (Ro 2:4) But my God shall supply your every need according
    to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

    19 But my God shall supply all your need according
    to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

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

    God's Reconciling Peace

    Ps 85:8-13

    8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) I will hear what God the Lord will speak,
    for He will speak peace to His people and to His saints,
    but let them not turn again to folly.
    9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Surely His salvation is near to them who fear Him,
    that glory may dwell in our land.
    10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) Mercy and truth have met together;
    righteousness and peace have kissed.
    11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Truth springs from the ground,
    and righteousness looks down from the sky.
    12 Yes, the Lord gives that which is good,
    and our land shall yield its increase.
    13 Righteousness shall go before Him
    and prepare a way for His footsteps.

    8 I will hear what God the LORD will speak:
    For he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints:
    But let them not turn again to folly.
    9 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him;
    That glory may dwell in our land.
    10 Mercy and truth are met together;
    Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
    11 Truth shall spring out of the earth;
    And righteousness shall look down from heaven.
    12 Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good;
    And our land shall yield her increase.
    13 Righteousness shall go before him;
    And shall set us in the way of his steps.

    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 2021 edition?)

    2015 Population - 4631302 Muslims about 136493

    British Columbia - British Columbia's Muslim Population is growing constantly. Every week there are immigrants ad refugees coming to the Greater Vancouver and surrounding areas. There are also significant Muslim student populations in our colleges and universities. Some have even suggested that there are between 4000 and 5000 Saudi Arabian students alone, without counting all
    other nationalities.

    Greater Vancouver has an estimated 180000 Muslims, and there are significant and growing communities in the Fraser Valley such as in Langley, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, etc. Including these communities the total population for this region is about 200000.
    Of these, there are an estimated 100000 Iranians, 35000 Arabs, 15000 Ismailis, more than 20000 Afghanis, 10000 South Asian Muslims, 3000 Turks, and small numbers from other countries such as Sudan, Somalia, Albania, etc.
    We are seeing some Muslims coming to Christ and we rejoice in that.
    A few people also have some ongoing ministry to Muslims in the area,
    for which we also rejoice. Let us agree in that

    - the church will catch a vision to pray,
    and a burden to train outreach to Muslims
    - the church will press in to participate in effective
    discipleship of these new Muslim background believers.

    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, ...) .
