   me to do big things. I will! My whole body and soul are to be thrown   
   recklessly about on the field tomorrow. Every time the ball is snapped,   
   I will be trying to do more than my part." Trice profoundly understood that   
   what he did flowed from the honour and dignity of who he was,   
   infusing his character with courage.   
      
   The apostle Paul says something similar in his letter to the Ephesians,   
   challenging believers to let who they were in Christ influence every   
   decision: "As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life   
   worthy of the calling you have received" (Ephesians 4:1). Paul challenges   
   us to embrace a way of living shaped by Jesus' work for us, in us, and through   
   us, which yields humility, gentleness, patience, unity, love, and peace   
   (vv. 2-3) as we use our God-given gifts to serve one another (vv. 15-16).   
      
   Reflect & Pray   
      
   What's the connection between our beliefs and actions?   
   What gifts has God given you to serve others?   
      
   Dear Father, thank You for inviting me into   
    a life filled with meaning and significance.   
    Please help me to love and serve others with the gifts You've given.

   Week 4 - The Blessings of Grace Day 4 - freedom from Fear   
      
   Psalms 27:1   
      
   The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom will I fear?   
   The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom will I be afraid?   
      
   The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?   
   The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?   
      
   Marcy was afraid of the dark. As a child she slept with a nightlight on,   
   and even she matured, she still had a fear of dark places.   
   When she was at home alone, she kept all the lights on,   
   and a small lamp at her bedside glowed through the night.   
   The psalmist David reflects that common fear of darkness when he says   
   "The Lord is my light and my salvation - whom shall I fear?"   
   David does not say, "The Lord brings light," but "The Lord is my light".   
   God is the source of understanding and security in our lives.   
   He is the One who can expose and deal with our fears.   
   When we are afraid - afraid of losing a job or a loved one,   
   afraid of making mistakes, afraid of being hurt, afraid of what others may   
   say about us - we can turn to the Lord who can handle our fears.   
   He is a "stronghold", a fortress of protection around us,   
   and in him we are safe.   
   Often we turn to other places for our security - to the bank account,   
   to a spouse or loved one, to the approval of the world.   
   We mistakenly think that these sources can provide a foundation of defence   
   against uncertainty of life. But when we find that people disappoint us, money   
   loses its value, and the praise of others is fleeting,   
   we must turn again to the true source of security, God alone.   
      
   Application   
      
   a) What sources of security have I trusted in besides God?   
   What was the result of that trust?   
      
   b) In what ways have I depended upon God for my security?   
      
   c) What spiritual truths can I see now that I could not see   
   when I lived in darkness?   
      
   4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland   
      
   1 Cor 13:3   
      
   3 If I give all my goods to feed the poor,   
   and if I give my body to be burned,   
   and have not love, it profits me nothing.   
      
   3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor,   
   and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity,   
   it profiteth me nothing.   
      
   5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:   
      
   God's Inexhaustible Strength   
      
   Ps 18:30-34   
      
   30 As for God, His way has integrity;   
   the word of the Lord is proven;   
   He is a shield to all those who take refuge in Him.   
   31 For who is God except the Lord?   
   Or who is a rock besides our God?   
   32 It is God who clothes me with strength,   
   and gives my way integrity.   
   33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer,   
   and causes me to stand on my high places.   
   34 He trains my hands for war,   
   so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.   
      
   30 As for God, his way is perfect:   
   The word of the LORD is tried: He is a buckler to all those that trust in him.   
   31 For who is God save the LORD?   
   Or who is a rock save our God?   
   32 It is God that girdeth me with strength,   
   And maketh my way perfect.   
   33 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet,   
   And setteth me upon my high places.   
   34 He teacheth my hands to war,   
   So that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.   
      
   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?)   
      
   Prince Edward Island   
      
   Total population 146300   
   Muslim population (est.) 1127   
      
   Charlottetown does not currently (fall 2014) have a local CNMM network.   
   Pray with us for God's people to come together in reaching Muslims   
   cooperatively across denominational and organisational lines.   
      
   More than 200 attended the Eid festival at the end of Ramadan, the Islamic   
   month of fasting during daylight hours and the reading of the Qur'an, at   
   the Dar as-Salam mosque in 2014. This second mosque established   
   in Charlottetown, the other being the Muslims Association of PEI.   
   As of mid-2014,there are between 250 to 300 families, mostly in Charlottetown.   
      
   The Muslims of Charlottetown see their community as symbolically important   
   for this nation since this is known as the "birthplace of Canada". Yet we were   
   established as the "Dominion of Canada" with an appeal not only to   
   monarchial authority, but even more to God's higher Biblical authority as   
   shown in Psalm 72:8, "May he have dominion from sea to sea,   
   and from the River to the ends of the earth."   
   Let us intercede together for:   
      
   - the growing Muslim population of Charlottetown and spreading   
   outward through PEI to encounter the Prince of Peace.   
   - believers to have faith and vision to reach out to the Muslim Community   
   in contextual ways to share the Gospel   
   - churches and ministries to rise up in wisdom, knowledge and understanding,   
   giving and training, coaching and encouragement to believers reaching   
   out to Muslims locally.   
   - a prayer movement to be established, feeding a growing move of Yahweh's   
   Spirit in His churches and people , and an awakening an openness   
   and spiritual hunger in Muslims for relationship with the Father   
   through the Son.   
      
   Adding further

   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,
