   Yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they?   
   27 Who among you by taking thought can add a cubit   
   (A cubit is about half a meter.) to his stature?   
   28 (Mt 6:25; 6:31) "Why take thought about clothing?   
   Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow:   
   They neither work, nor do they spin.   
   29 (1Ki 10:4-7; 2Ch 9:4-6) Yet I say to you that even Solomon   
   in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.   
   30 (Mt 8:26; 14:31) Therefore, if God so clothes the grass of the field,   
   which today is here and tomorrow is thrown into the oven,   
   will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?   
   31 (1Pe 5:7) Therefore, take no thought, saying, 'What shall we eat?'   
   or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'   
   32 (Mt 6:8; Lk 12:30) (For the Gentiles seek after all these things.)   
   For your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.   
   33 (1Ti 4:8; 1Ki 3:11-13) But seek first the kingdom of God   
   and His righteousness, and all these things shall be given to you.   
   34 (Mt 6:25) Therefore, take no thought about tomorrow,   
   for tomorrow will take thought about the things of itself.   
   Sufficient to the day is the trouble thereof.   
      
   True Wisdom   
      
   24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one,   
   and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.   
   Ye cannot serve God and mammon.   
   25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat,   
   or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not   
   the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?   
   26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor   
   gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much   
   better than they?   
   27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?   
   28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field,   
   how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:   
   29 and yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed   
   like one of these.   
   30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is,   
   and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you,   
   O ye of little faith?   
   31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat?   
   or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?   
   32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek   
   for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.   
   33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God,   
   and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.   
   34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow:   
   for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.   
   Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.   
      
   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 2023 edition?)   
      
   The Northern Territories of Canada   
      
   Yukon   
      
   Yukon Total population (2015) 36500 Muslim (est) 69   
      
   In Whitehorse the Muslim population grew from 2 families   
   in 2001 to more than 60 people in 2014. Originally meeting in a church,   
   they now meet for prayer service in a former office space.   
      
   Pray for Muslims and believers in Whitehorse to come together,   
   and for Muslims to find faith in Jesus Christ.   
      
   Northwest Territories (NWT)   
      
   NWT population (2015) 43600 Muslim (est) 473   
      
   The Muslim community of Yellowknife has grown from 275 to 330 un the past year.   
   To replace their inadequate facility, they are planning a C$2 to C$2.5 million   
   Islamic Centre.   
      
   Pray that the Muslims in Yellowknife and all of the NWT will awaken to   
   spiritual hunger and be open to saving faith in Jesus Christ.   
      
   Nunavut (NU)   
      
   NU total population (2015) 36600 Muslim (est) 86   
      
   The Islamic Centre of Iqaluit now claim about 100 Muslims and have surpassed   
   80 % of their funding goal to building the first mosque in this territory.   
   Their stated goal is "To spread the message of Islam   
   in the far northern reaches of Canada."   
      
   Pray that believers in Iqaluit take up Jesus' command to love and reach   
   their Muslim neighbours with the Gospel.   
      
   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.   
      
   - 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
