   20 (Dt 10:20; Ps 27:1) that you may love the Lord your God,   
   that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him,   
   for He is your life and the length of your days;   
   and that you may dwell in the land that the Lord

   therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:   
   20 that thou mayest love the LORD thy God,   
   and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him:   
   for he is thy life, and the length of thy days:   
   that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD   
   sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

   God's Freeing Forgiveness   
      
   Ps 103:1-14   
      
   PSALMS 103   
      
   A Psalm of David.   
      
   1 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name.   
   2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits,   
   3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) who forgives all your iniquities,   
   who heals all your diseases,   
   4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) who redeems your life from the pit,   
   who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,   
   5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) who satisfies your mouth with good things,   
   so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.   
   6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8–9) The Lord does righteousness   
   and justice for all who are oppressed.   
   7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) He made known His ways to Moses,   
   His acts to the people of Israel.   
   8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) The Lord is merciful and gracious,   
   slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.   
   9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) He will not always accuse,   
   neither will He keep his anger forever.   
   10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) He does not treat us according to our sins,   
   nor repay us according to our iniquities.   
   11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) For as the heavens are high above the earth,   
   so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;   
   12 as far as the east is from the west,   
   so far has He removed our transgressions from us.   
   13 Like a father shows compassion to his children,   
   so the Lord gives compassion to those who fear Him.   
   14 For He knows how we are formed;   
   He remembers that we are dust.   
      
   Psalm 103   
      
   A Psalm of David.   
      
   1 Bless the LORD, O my soul: And all that is within me, bless his holy name.   
   2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits:   
   3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases;   
   4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction;   
   Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;   
   5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things;   
   So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.   
   6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment   
   For all that are oppressed.   
   7 He made known his ways unto Moses,   
   His acts unto the children of Israel.   
   8 The LORD is merciful and gracious,   
   Slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.   
   9 He will not always chide:   
   Neither will he keep his anger for ever.   
   10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins;   
   Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.   
   11 For as the heaven is high above the earth,   
   So great is his mercy toward them that fear him.   
   12 As far as the east is from the west,   
   So far hath he removed our transgressions from us.   
   13 Like as a father pitieth his children,   
   So the LORD pitieth them that fear him.   
   14 For he knoweth our frame;   
   He remembereth that we are dust.   
      
   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 nothern 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:
