   18 But you must remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you   
   the ability to get wealth, so that He may establish His covenant which   
   He swore to your fathers, as it is today.   
      
   18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee   
   power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto   
   thy fathers, as it is this day.   
      
   5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:   
      
   When you are lonely   
      
   PSALMS 25:15-21   
      
   15 My eyes are ever toward the Lord,   
   for He will lead my feet from the net.   
   16 Turn to me, and be gracious to me,   
   for I am isolated and afflicted.   
   17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged;   
   bring me out of my distresses.   
   18 Look on my pain and misery,   
   and forgive all my sins.   
   19 Consider my enemies, for they are many,   
   and they hate me with violent hatred.   
   20 Watch over my life, and deliver me!   
   Let me not suffer shame,   
   for I seek refuge in You.   
   21 Truth and integrity will preserve me   
   while I wait for You.   
      
   15 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD;   
   For he shall pluck my feet out of the net.   
   16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me;   
   For I am desolate and afflicted.   
   17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged:   
   O bring thou me out of my distresses.   
   18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain;   
   And forgive all my sins.   
   19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many;   
   And they hate me with cruel hatred.   
   20 O keep my soul, and deliver me:   
   Let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.   
   21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me;   
   For I wait on 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?)   
      
   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   
      
   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   
   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
