   19 (Lk 16:9; 1Ti 6:12) and laying up in store for themselves a good   
   foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of eternal life.   
      
   17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded,   
   nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly   
   all things to enjoy;   
   18 that they do good, that they be rich in good works,   
   ready to distribute, willing to communicate;   
   19 laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time   
   to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.   
      
   5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:   
      
   God's Eternal Faithfulness   
      
   Ps 89:1-8   
      
   PSALMS 89   
      
   A Contemplative Maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite.   
      
   1 I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever;   
   with my mouth I will make known   
   Your faithfulness to all generations.   
   2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) For I have said,   
   "Mercy shall be built up forever;   
   Your faithfulness shall be   
   established in the heavens."   
   3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) You have said,   
   "I have made a covenant with my chosen one;   
   I have sworn to David my servant:   
   4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) 'Your offspring I will establish forever,   
   and build up your throne for all generations.' " Selah   
   5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Let the heavens praise Your wonders, O Lord;   
   Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.   
   6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) For who in the skies can   
   be compared to the Lord?   
   Who among the heavenly sons is like the Lord?   
   7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) God is greatly to be feared   
   in the assembly of the holy ones   
   and awesome to all those who surround Him.   
   8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) O Lord God of Hosts,   
   who is a mighty Lord like You,   
   with Your faithfulness all around You?   
      
   1 I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever:   
   With my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.   
   2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever:   
   Thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.   
   3 I have made a covenant with my chosen,   
   I have sworn unto David my servant,   
   4 Thy seed will I establish for ever,   
   And build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.   
   5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD:   
   Thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.   
   6 For who in the heaven   
   Can be compared unto the LORD?   
   Who among the sons of the mighty   
   Can be likened unto the LORD?   
   7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints,   
   And to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.   
   8 O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee?   
   Or to thy faithfulness round about thee?   
      
   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?)   
      
   Newfoundland & Labrador   
      
   Total population 527000   
   Muslim population (est.) 2065   
      
   As of Autumn 2014, St. John's does not have a local CNMM network. Pray with us   
   for God's people to come together in prayer   
   and cooperative efforts to reach Muslims with the Good News.   
      
   St. John's has one mosque and 2 more musallas , or prayer locations, which   
   may grow into mosques of their own. The mosque is called Masjid an Noor,   
   The Mosque of the Light, and mosque historical documents record a trip in 1986   
   to Saudi Arabia to raise funds for the land purchase and construction costs.   
   A small number of Muslim families had come prior to 1964, but moved on to   
   other places after a short time. After this date, a small community began   
   to remain and grow , reaching about 25 families in the 1980s. A number   
   of international students also join the community annually   
   ranging from 25 to 60.   
      
   In 2014 the mosque website reports the community is made up of some 200   
   families and many university students attending Memorial University. A   
   small number of native Newfoundlanders have also converted to the Islamic   
   faith, one saying of this religion in Newfoundland, "Islam is a growing face".   
   With the growth of the community, the current challenge is lack of space   
   in the mosque, which they are now looking at expanding.   
      
   Pray for   
      
   - The true Light of life, Jesus Christ, to be revealed to Muslims   
   in Newfoundland through the word, dreams, visions and answers to prayer.   
   - Christians to be as "wise as serpents and harmless as doves" regarding   
   Islam and reaching out in loving witness to Muslims in St. John's.   
   - for a dedicated, intentional witness to the growing number of Muslim   
   students on the university, college and trade school campuses.   
      
   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 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,   
   "What does this mean?"   
   13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."   
      
   Peter's Speech at Pentecost   
      
   14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice   
   and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,   
   let this be known to you, and listen to my words.   
   15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,   
   since it is the third hour of the day.   
   16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:   
   17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) '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.'   
      
   - Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective   
   discipleship movements among Muslim people.
