a) Pray that the Lord will be close to the brokenhearted in our society

and be their help

And saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

Romans 12:4-8



4 (1Co 12:12-14)For just as we have many parts in one body,

and not all parts have the same function,

5(1Co 10:17; 12:20)so we, being many, are one body in Christ,

and all are parts of one another.

6(Ac 13:1; 1Co 13:2)We have diverse gifts according to the grace that

is given to us: if prophecy, according to the proportion of faith;

7 (Ac 13:1; Eph 4:11)if service, in serving; he who teaches, in teaching;

8 (2Co 9:7; 1Co 12:28) he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with

generosity; he who rules, with diligence;

he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.



4 For as we have many members in one body,

and all members have not the same office:

5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ,

and every one members one of another.

6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that

is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according

to the proportion of faith;

7 or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth,

on teaching;

8 or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let

him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence;

he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.



Col 3:17



17(1Co 10:31; Eph 5:20)And whatever you do in word or deed,

do all in the name

of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.



17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name

of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

Proverbs 18



1 (Jude 1:19) He who separates himself seeks his own desire;

he seeks and quarrels against all wisdom.

2 A fool has no delight in understanding,

but in expressing his own heart.

3 When the wicked comes, then comes also contempt,

and with dishonor reproach.

4 (Pr 20:5) The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters,

and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.

5 (Lev 19:15; Pr 24:23) It is not good to favor the wicked,

or to turn aside the righteous in judgment.

6 A fool's lips enter into contention,

and his mouth calls for flogging.

7 (Pr 10:14; 12:13) A fool's mouth is his destruction,

and his lips are the snare of his soul.

8 (Pr 16:28) The words of a talebearer are as wounds,

and they go down into the innermost parts of the body.

9 (Pr 28:24; 10:4) He also who is slothful in his work

is brother to him who is a great waster.

10 (2Sa 22:3; Ps 18:2) The name of the Lord is a strong tower;

the righteous run into it and are safe.

11 (Pr 10:15) The rich man's wealth is his strong city,

and as a high wall in his own conceit.

12 (Pr 11:2; 15:33) Before destruction the heart of man is haughty,

and before honor is humility.

13 (Jn 7:51) He who answers a matter before he hearsit,

it is folly and shame to him.

14 (Pr 17:22; 15:13) The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity,

but a wounded spirit who can bear?

15 (Pr 15:14) The heart of the prudent gets knowledge,

and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

16 (Ge 32:20; 1Sa 25:27) A man's gift makes room for him,

and brings him before great men.

17 He who is first in his own cause seems just,

but his neighbor comes and searches him.

18 (Pr 16:33) The lot causes contentions to cease,

and keeps the mighty ones apart.

19 A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city,

and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.

20 A man's stomach will be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth;

and with the increase of his lips will he be filled.

21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue,

and those who love it will eat its fruit.

22 (Pr 19:14; 12:4; 8:35) Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing,

and obtains favor of the Lord.

23 (Jas 2:3) The poor man uses entreaties,

but the rich man answers roughly.

24 (Pr 17:17) A man who has friends must show himself friendly,

and there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.



Proverbs 18

1 Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh

And intermeddleth with all wisdom.

2 A fool hath no delight in understanding,

But that his heart may discover itself.

3 When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt,

And with ignominy reproach.

4 The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters,

And the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.

5 It is not good to accept the person of the wicked,

To overthrow the righteous in judgment.

6 A fool's lips enter into contention,

And his mouth calleth for strokes.

7 A fool's mouth is his destruction,

And his lips are the snare of his soul.

8 The words of a talebearer are as wounds,

And they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

9 He also that is slothful in his work

Is brother to him that is a great waster.

10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower:

The righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

11 The rich man's wealth is his strong city,

And as an high wall in his own conceit.

12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty,

And before honour is humility.

13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it,

It is folly and shame unto him.

14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity;

But a wounded spirit who can bear?

15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge;

And the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.

16 A man's gift maketh room for him,

And bringeth him before great men.

17 He that is first in his own cause seemeth just;

But his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.

18 The lot causeth contentions to cease,

And parteth between the mighty.

19 A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city:

And their contentions are like the bars of a castle.

20 A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth;

And with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.

21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue:

And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing,

And obtaineth favour of the LORD.

23 The poor useth intreaties;

But the rich answereth roughly.

24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly:

And there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.



2) Our Daily Bread for 7 June 2026 titled Remembering Who

We Are
by Marvin Williams



Ruth 1:11-18



11 (Ge 38:11; Dt 25:5) But Naomi said, "Turn back, my daughters.

Why would you go with me? Are there sons in my womb,

who could become your husbands?

12 Turn back, my daughters! Go, for I am too old to have a husband.

Even if I thought that there was still hope for me, that I could have

a husband tonight and give birth to sons,

13 (Jdg 2:15; Job 19:2) 1would you wait until they were grown?

Would you refrain from getting married? No, my daughters.

It is much more bitter for me than for you, for the hand of the Lord

has turned against me."

14 (Pr 17:17; 18:24) Then they raised their voices and wept aloud once more.

Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.

15 (Jdg 11:24; Jos 24:15) Naomi said, "Look, your sister-in-law has returned

to her people and her gods. Return with her!"

16 (Ru 2:11-12) But Ruth said, "Do not urge me to leave you or to turn back

from following you. For wherever you go, I will go, and wherever you stay,

I will stay. Your people shall be my people and your God my God.

17 (1Sa 3:17; 25:22) Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried.

May the Lord do thus to me, and worse,

if anything but death separates you and me!"

18 (Ac 21:14) When Naomi saw that she was determined to go with her,

she said no more to her.



[11] And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? are

there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?

[12] Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have an

husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should have an husband also to

night, and should also bear sons;

[13] Would ye tarry for them till they were grown? would ye stay for them

from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your

sakes that the hand of the LORD is gone out against me.

[14] And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her

mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her.

[15] And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people,

and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law.

[16] And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from

following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou

lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:

[17] Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do

so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.

[18] When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she

left speaking unto her.



A restaurant employee discovered an unconscious man beside a dumpster. He

was sunburned, bitten by ants, and showed signs of blunt force trauma. He had

no memory of who he was. The man, later self-named "Benjamin Kyle," lived in

limbo for more than a decade. He couldn't work, collect benefits, or even

reclaim his past. His healing began when a community of strangers helped him

rediscover his identity through genetic testing and investigation. "I have a

history," he said. "I'm not just some stranger that materialised out

of thin air."



The story of Ruth in the Bible can also be seen as one of rediscovered

belonging. After losing her husband and leaving her homeland, she chose to

bind herself to her mother-in-law Naomi and her people. She said, "Where you

go I will go . . . . Your people will be my people and your God my God"

(Ruth 1:16). Ruth connected her identity and destiny to that of Naomi

and her people in life and in death. She was "determined to go with her"

(v. 18)—prioritising community over clarity, belonging over certainty. In

doing so, she stepped into God's redemptive story and is remembered forever

as part of the lineage of Christ (4:18-22; Matthew 1:3-5).



When we as believers in Jesus forget who we are - or when life's pain leaves

us disoriented-God often uses community to reconnect us with our most

authentic identity. In Him we're beloved, chosen, and known.



Reflect & Pray



Who is God using to help you remember who you are in Him?

What does it mean to be known by Him?



Dear God, please help me remember who I am in You.



3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation



Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 7 Promises of Grace - Day 1 Hard Bargain



Mark 11:24



24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray,

believe that you will receive them, and you will have them.



24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray,

believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.



"I've been praying." Jennifer declared confidently. " I told God I'd give him

a tithe of that $5000000 when I win the sweepstakes."

Her friend Cindi laughed. "Well, then, you don't have a chance. I told him

I'd give him half!"

Can we, as in Mark 11:24 seems to imply , pray for anything, absolutely

anything, and expect that the Lord will come through? Can we pray with

assurance for new cars, mink coats, or trips to the Caribbean? The verse

seems to be a troublesome one, especially when we try it and our prayers

aren't answered in the way we expected.

But seen in context, Mark 11:24 gives us a much broader picture of the

kind of prayer Jesus meant. The verse appears in the framework of

Jesus' ministry - cleansing the temple, correcting the Pharisees,

commanding forgiveness, discussing his authority. The condition for

the fulfillment of Mark 11:24, if Jesus' actions are any indication,

is fulfilling the will and purpose of God.

Such a condition for powerful prayers involves much more than attaching

am "If it be Thy will" clause onto the end of our prayers. We need to know

God's will and walk in it, seeking his kingdom first, and drawing close to

him. Then , as our hearts are right with him, what we ask in prayer

is likely to be congruent with the mind and purposes of Christ. We are

less likely to pray selfishly, and more likely to share God's priorities,

as we get to know him. And as we deepen in our knowledge of him,

as his will becomes our will, his promise for answered prayer takes

on new dimensions.



Application



a) What is the connection betweeen know God's will and praying effectively?



b) What changes need to take place in my life

so that I might pray with greater power?

4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Ps 37:25-26



25 I have been young, and now am old;

yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,

nor their offspring begging bread.

26 The righteous are gracious and lend,

and their offspring are a source of blessing.



25 I have been young, and now am old;

Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken,

nor his seed begging bread.

26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth;

And his seed is blessed.



5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:



When you are ill or injured



Matthew 8:14-17



The Healing of Many People



Mk 1:29-34; Lk 4:38-41



14 When Jesus entered Peter's house, He saw his wife's mother,

lying sick with a fever.

15 He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she rose and served them.

16 When the evening came, they brought to Him many

who were possessed with demons.

And He cast out the spirits with His word, and healed all who were sick,

17 to fulfill what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet,

"He Himself took our infirmities

and bore our sicknesses."



[14] And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother

laid, and sick of a fever.

[15] And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and

ministered unto them.

[16] When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed

with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that

were sick:

[17] That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet,

saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.



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 2022 edition?)



Quebec



Quick facts on Muslims in Quebec



Quebec 2015 population 8214 000



est Muslim Population 418946



CNMM Networks: Montreal



There is a growing Muslim population in Quebec City and a smattering

of Muslims scattered around the rest of the province, yet the vast majority

of Muslims live in the greater Montreal area. n fact, 23% of Canada's Muslim

population live in Quebec. Why is that? It is largely because Francophone

African Muslims are attracted to La Belle Provence.

And here's an interesting, perhaps even shocking fact: There are more

Muslims in Montreal than there are evangelical Christians.

This is one demographic factor creates a challenging environment for churches

and believers here: The size of the available 'workforce' is small

by comparison to begin with. Believers are already is a host culture that

is often either indifferent to religion or resistant to it. And now

this 'new' religious community of Muslims - many of whom do not visibly

or socially conform to Quebec society - are a growing population. It might br

easy for Christians to feel overwhelm by this cultural double-whammy,

yet God has always worked miracles through the small, the few.

Agree in prayer for :



- The people of Quebec, Muslim or otherwise, to be open to the Gospel

- for Muslims who are encountering believers and responding

-for a new group of Muslim background believers who are meeting

together for worship!

- For pastors and believers to be full of passion, faith and vision for

reaching Muslims in Quebec.



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 "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.

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.

19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:

blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- 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!



And



Thank you for praying through the

5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.



"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,

I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to

cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.



Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians

and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the

love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.

One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by

light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.



As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and

confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution

to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.



Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.

Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father

to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.



I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.

God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through

the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom

and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."



13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy

and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,

through the power of the Holy Spirit.



[13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that

ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.



ROMANS 15:13



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

(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .

Day 158 of My 6th Bible Study Journey Part 2

Proverbs 16

1 The preparations of the heart in man,

And the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD.

2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes;

But the LORD weigheth the spirits.

3 Commit thy works unto the LORD,

And thy thoughts shall be established.

4 The LORD hath made all things for himself:

Yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD:

Though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

6 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged:

And by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.

7 When a man's ways please the LORD,

He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

8 Better is a little with righteousness

Than great revenues without right.

9 A man's heart deviseth his way:

But the LORD directeth his steps.

10 A divine sentence is in the lips of the king:

His mouth transgresseth not in judgment.

11 A just weight and balance are the LORD's:

All the weights of the bag are his work.

12 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness:

For the throne is established by righteousness.

13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings;

And they love him that speaketh right.

14 The wrath of a king is as messengers of death:

But a wise man will pacify it.

15 In the light of the king's countenance is life;

And his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.

16 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold!

And to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!

17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil:

He that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.

18 Pride goeth before destruction,

And an haughty spirit before a fall.

19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly,

Than to divide the spoil with the proud.

20 He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good:

And whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.

21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent:

And the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.

22 Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it:

But the instruction of fools is folly.

23 The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth,

And addeth learning to his lips.

24 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb,

Sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man,

But the end thereof are the ways of death.

26 He that laboureth laboureth for himself;

For his mouth craveth it of him.

27 An ungodly man diggeth up evil:

And in his lips there is as a burning fire.

28 A froward man soweth strife:

And a whisperer separateth chief friends.

29 A violent man enticeth his neighbour,

And leadeth him into the way that is not good.

30 He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things:

Moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.

31 The hoary head is a crown of glory,

If it be found in the way of righteousness.

32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty;

And he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

33 The lot is cast into the lap;

But the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD



Proverbs 17



1 (Pr 15:17) Better is a dry morsel with quietness

than a house full of sacrifices with strife.

2 (Pr 10:5; 19:26) A wise servant will have rule over a son who causes shame,

and will have part of the inheritance among the brothers.

3 (Ps 26:2; Pr 27:21) The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold,

but the Lord tries the hearts.

4 A wicked doer gives heed to false lips,

and a liar gives ear to a wayward tongue.

5 (Job 31:29; Pr 14:31) Whoever mocks the poor reproaches his Maker,

and he who is glad at calamities will not be unpunished.

6 Grandchildren are the crown of old men,

and the glory of children are their fathers.

7 Excellent speech is not becoming to a fool,

much less lying lips to a prince.

8 (Ex 23:8; Pr 17:23) A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him

who has it; wherever he turns, it prospers.

9 (Pr 10:12; 16:28 )He who covers a transgression seeks love,

but he who repeats a matter separates friends.

10 A reproof enters deeper into a wise man

than a hundred stripes into a fool.

11 An evil man seeks only rebellion;

therefore a cruel messenger will be sent against him.

12 (2Sa 17:8; Hos 13:8) Let a man meet a bear robbed of her cubs

rather than a fool in his folly.

13 (Ps 35:12 )Whoever rewards evil for good,

evil will not depart from his house.

14 (Pr 20:3; 25:8) The beginning of strife is as when one lets out water;

therefore abandon contention before a quarrel starts.

15 (Ex 23:7; Isa 5:23) He who justifies the wicked,

and he who condemns the just,

both of them are abomination to the Lord.

16 (Pr 23:23) Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom,

seeing he has no heart for it?

17 (Pr 18:24; Ru 1:16 ) A friend loves at all times,

and a brother is born for adversity.

18 (Pr 11:15; 6:1-5 ) A man void of understanding shakes hands,

and becomes a pledge in the presence of his friend.

19 (Pr 16:18) He loves transgression who loves strife,

and he who exalts his gate seeks destruction.

20 He who has a deceitful heart finds no good,

and he who has a perverse tongue falls into mischief.

21 (Pr 10:1; 19:13) He who fathers a fool does it to his sorrow,

and the father of a fool has no joy.

22 (Pr 15:13; Ps 22:15; Pr 12:25) A merry heart does good like a medicine,

but a broken spirit dries the bones.

23 (Ex 23:8; Pr 17:8) A wicked man takes a bribe out of a hidden place

to pervert the ways of judgment.

24 (Ecc 2:14; Pr 14:6) Wisdom is before him who has understanding,

but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.

25 (Pr 10:1; 19:13) A foolish son is a grief to his father,

and bitterness to her who bore him.

26 (Pr 17:15; 18:5) Also to punish the just is not good,

nor to strike princes for their uprightness.

27 (Jas 1:19; Pr 10:19) He who has knowledge spares his words,

and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.

28 (Job 13:5) Even a fool, when he holds his peace, is counted wise;

and he who shuts his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.



Proverbs 17

1 Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith,

Than an house full of sacrifices with strife.

2 A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame,

And shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.

3 The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold:

But the LORD trieth the hearts.

4 A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips;

And a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.

5 Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker:

And he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.

6 Children's children are the crown of old men;

And the glory of children are their fathers.

7 Excellent speech becometh not a fool:

Much less do lying lips a prince.

8 A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it:

Whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.

9 He that covereth a transgression seeketh love;

But he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.

10 A reproof entereth more into a wise man

Than an hundred stripes into a fool.

11 An evil man seeketh only rebellion:

Therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.

12 Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man,

Rather than a fool in his folly.

13 Whoso rewardeth evil for good,

Evil shall not depart from his house.

14 The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water:

Therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.

15 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just,

Even they both are abomination to the LORD.

16 Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom,

Seeing he hath no heart to it?

17 A friend loveth at all times,

And a brother is born for adversity.

18 A man void of understanding striketh hands,

And becometh surety in the presence of his friend.

19 He loveth transgression that loveth strife:

And he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.

20 He that hath a froward heart findeth no good:

And he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.

21 He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow:

And the father of a fool hath no joy.

22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine:

But a broken spirit drieth the bones.

23 A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom

To pervert the ways of judgment.

24 Wisdom is before him that hath understanding;

But the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.

25 A foolish son is a grief to his father,

And bitterness to her that bare him.

26 Also to punish the just is not good,

Nor to strike princes for equity.

27 He that hath knowledge spareth his words:

And a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.

28 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise:

And he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.

Day 157 of my 6th Bible Study Journey Part 4

6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2022 edition?)



Quebec



Quick facts on Muslims in Quebec



Quebec 2015 population 8214 000



est Muslim Population 418946



CNMM Networks: Montreal



There is a growing Muslim population in Quebec City and a smattering

of Muslims scattered around the rest of the province, yet the vast majority

of Muslims live in the greater Montreal area. n fact, 23% of Canada's Muslim

population live in Quebec. Why is that? It is largely because Francophone

African Muslims are attracted to La Belle Provence.

And here's an interesting, perhaps even shocking fact: There are more

Muslims in Montreal than there are evangelical Christians.

This is one demographic factor creates a challenging environment for churches

and believers here: The size of the available 'workforce' is small

by comparison to begin with. Believers are already is a host culture that

is often either indifferent to religion or resistant to it. And now

this 'new' religious community of Muslims - many of whom do not visibly

or socially conform to Quebec society - are a growing population. It might br

easy for Christians to feel overwhelm by this cultural double-whammy,

yet God has always worked miracles through the small, the few.

Agree in prayer for :



- The people of Quebec, Muslim or otherwise, to be open to the Gospel

- for Muslims who are encountering believers and responding

-for a new group of Muslim background believers who are meeting

together for worship!

- For pastors and believers to be full of passion, faith and vision for

reaching Muslims in Quebec.



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 "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.

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.

19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:

blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- 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!



And



Thank you for praying through the

5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.



"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,

I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to

cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.



Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians

and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the

love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.

One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by

light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.



As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and

confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution

to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.



Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.

Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father

to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.



I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.

God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through

the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom

and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."



13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy

and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,

through the power of the Holy Spirit.



[13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that

ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Psalm 23:1-6



Psalms 23

A Psalm of David.

1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) He makes me lie down in green pastures;

He leads me beside still waters.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) He restores my soul;

He leads me in paths of righteousness

for His name's sake.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) Even though I walk

through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil;

for You are with me;

Your rod and Your staff,

they comfort me.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) You prepare a table before me

in the presence of my enemies;

You anoint my head with oil;

my cup runs over.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord

forever.



Psalm 23

[1] The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

[2] He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the

still waters.

[3] He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for

his name's sake.

[4] Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will

fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

[5] Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou

anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

[6] Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I

will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.



I was putting my grandson to bed during a sleepover. When his Bible bookmark

opened to Psalm 23, he objected, "We already read this one." After I suggested

we might learn something new, he read aloud, "The Lord is my shepherd, I lack

nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastries." Green pastries?! I explained

that the word was pastures, not pastries. Hours earlier, he'd stood before a

bakery shelf, selecting treats. His interpretation came into focus:

To him, a bakery conveyed a place of rest and enjoyment.



Psalm 23 may be so familiar to us that we miss its deep offering. David, a

king well acquainted with shepherding, describes God's provision over a

lifetime of things both idyllic (vv. 5-6) and challenging (v. 4). He points

out that our good God leads us to places where we can partake of His presence,

be rejuvenated, and prepare for what will come. "Green pastures" (v. 1) and

"quiet waters" (v. 2) are such dwellings for sheep,

and we are God's sheep (v. 1).



My grandson's innocent interpretation opened my eyes to the "green pastures"

God provides for me—places of rest and enjoyment in everyday life where He

restores me. A gold-hued sunset. A verdant field. A quiet corner. A bakery

shelf of green pastries, wafting out delight.

I'm so glad we read Psalm 23 again!



Reflect & Pray



What unexpected "green pasture" moment have you experienced?

How does Psalm 23 invite you into the provision of God’s presence?



Dear God, please open my eyes to the "green pasture"

moments You provide. Help me to enter Your presence each day.

Week 6 Showing Grace to Others - Day 7 Our God reigns!



Is 52:7



7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news,

who proclaims peace, who brings good news of happiness,

who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, "Your God reigns!"



7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good

tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that

publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!



A messenger has a single duty: to carry information. During World War II, many

parents dreaded the arrival of the Western Union messenger, believing that

delivery of a telegram meant that their son has been wounded or killed.

Isaiah 52:7, however, indicates that a messenger's word is not always

unwelcome. "How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring

good news ..." the prophet says. The "Good news"? Peace , salvation,

and the resultant message: "Your God reigns!"

Our God reigns - in forgiveness, in reconciliation, bringing peace and freedom

and joy. Our God reigns, controlling our lives with a loving hand, ordering

our experiences for our good, and his glory. Our God reigns in relationships,

in professional circumstances, in families, in churches. The good news is

proclaimed: Life is not unmanageable. Our God Reigns!

When we know that God reigns in our lives, we can relax, let go of the reins

of control, and live in peace. We can forgive those who have hurt us, knowing

that God will reveal to them what they need to know. We can live

with good times and bad, recognising that God uses every circumstance

of our lives to conform us to the image of his Son. We can rejoice in his

grace, free from the compulsion to earn his love and acceptance, and

we can live in the peace that comes only through his lordship in our lives.

Our God reigns - that is , indeed "Good news".



Application



a) Have I ever felt that life was "out of control"? Why?



b) What does it mean in practical terms to know that "Our God reigns"?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Is 55:11



11 (Isa 45:23; 46:10) so shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;

it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please,

and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.



11 so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth:

it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please,

and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.



5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:



When you are ill or injured



James 5:13-16



13 (Ps 50:15; Eph 5:19) Is anyone among you suffering?

Let him pray. Is anyone merry? Let him sing psalms.

14 (Mk 6:13; 16:18; Ac 14:23) Is anyone sick among you?

Let him call for the elders of the church,

and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil

in the name of the Lord.

15 (Isa 33:24; Jas 1:6) And the prayer of faith will save

the sick, and the Lord will raise him up.

And if he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven.

16 (Ge 20:17; 18:23-32) Confess your faults to one another

and pray for one another, that you may be healed.

The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man accomplishes much.



13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray.

Is any merry? let him sing psalms.

14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church;

and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

15 and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise

him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another,

that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man

availeth much.



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.

Proverbs 11

1 A false balance is abomination to the LORD:

But a just weight is his delight.

2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame:

But with the lowly is wisdom.

3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them:

But the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.

4 Riches profit not in the day of wrath:

But righteousness delivereth from death.

5 The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way:

But the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.

6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them:

But transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.

7 When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish:

And the hope of unjust men perisheth.

8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble,

And the wicked cometh in his stead.

9 An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour:

But through knowledge shall the just be delivered.

10 When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth:

And when the wicked perish, there is shouting.

11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted:

But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

12 He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour:

But a man of understanding holdeth his peace.

13 A talebearer revealeth secrets:

But he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.

So he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.

20 They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD:

But such as are upright in their way are his delight.

21 Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished:

But the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.

22 As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout,

So is a fair woman which is without discretion.

23 The desire of the righteous is only good:

But the expectation of the wicked is wrath.

24 There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth;

And there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.

25 The liberal soul shall be made fat:

And he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

26 He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him:

But blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.

27 He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour:

But he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.

28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall:

But the righteous shall flourish as a branch.

29 He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind:

And the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.

Much more the wicked and the sinner.

6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2026 edition?)



Quebec



Quick facts on Muslims in Quebec



Quebec 2015 population 8214 000



est Muslim Population 418946



CNMM Networks: Montreal



There is a growing Muslim population in Quebec City and a smattering

of Muslims scattered around the rest of the province, yet the vast majority

of Muslims live in the greater Montreal area. n fact, 23% of Canada's Muslim

population live in Quebec. Why is that? It is largely because Francophone

African Muslims are attracted to La Belle Provence.

And here's an interesting, perhaps even shocking fact: There are more

Muslims in Montreal than there are evangelical Christians.

This is one demographic factor creates a challenging environment for churches

and believers here: The size of the available 'workforce' is small

by comparison to begin with. Believers are already is a host culture that

is often either indifferent to religion or resistant to it. And now

this 'new' religious community of Muslims - many of whom do not visibly

or socially conform to Quebec society - are a growing population. It might br

easy for Christians to feel overwhelm by this cultural double-whammy,

yet God has always worked miracles through the small, the few.

Agree in prayer for :



- The people of Quebec, Muslim or otherwise, to be open to the Gospel

- for Muslims who are encountering believers and responding

-for a new group of Muslim background believers who are meeting

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 "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.

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.

19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:

blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- 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!



And



Thank you for praying through the

5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.



"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,

I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to

cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.



Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians

and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the

love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.

One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by

light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.



As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and

confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution

to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.



Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.

Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father

to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.



I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.

God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through

the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom

and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."



13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy

and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,

through the power of the Holy Spirit.



[13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that

ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

2) Our Daily Bread for 5 June 2026 titled

Running to God in Prayer
by Nancy Gavilanes



Jonah 2:1-10



1 Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish.

2 He said:

"I called to the Lord out of my distress,

and He answered me.

Out of the belly of Sheol I cried,

and You heard my voice.

3 You cast me into the deep,

into the heart of the seas,

and the flood surrounded me.

All Your billows and Your waves

passed over me.

4 Then I said, 'I am cast away

from Your sight;

yet I will look again

to Your holy temple.'

5 The waters encompassed me; even to my soul

the deep surrounded me;

weeds were wrapped around my head.

6 I went down to the foundations of the mountains;

the earth with its bars was around me forever;

yet You have brought up my life from the pit,

O Lord my God.

7 "When my life was ebbing away,

I remembered the Lord;

and my prayer came to You,

into Your holy temple.

8 "Those who follow vain idols

forsake their true loyalty.

9 But I will sacrifice to You

with the voice of thanksgiving;

I will pay what I have vowed.

Salvation is of the Lord!"

10 Then the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out upon dry land.



[1] Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,

[2] And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he

heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.

[3] For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the

floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.

[4] Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward

thy holy temple.

[5] The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me

round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.

[6] I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was

about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD

my God.

[7] When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer

came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.

[8] They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

[9] But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will

pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.

[10] And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry

land.



One moment Adrián Simancas was kayaking in the Strait of Magellan in Chile

with his father. The next, the twenty-four-year-old was engulfed in the mouth

of a humpback whale. "I thought I was dead," Adrián told a news outlet. After

a few seconds, the whale released Adrián into the frigid waters. His life vest

caused him to float to the water's surface, and his father helped him

to safety.



The Old Testament prophet Jonah also had an encounter with a large sea

creature. Jonah refused to follow God's directive to preach a message of

repentance to the Israelites' enemies, the Ninevites, so he boarded a ship in

the opposite direction of Nineveh. When the ship got caught in a storm, Jonah

convinced the crew to throw him overboard (Jonah 1:11-12, 15). "Now the Lord

provided a huge fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish

three days and three nights" (v. 17). Jonah went from fleeing from God to

crying out to Him: "From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the Lord his God"

(2:1).



God heard Jonah and rescued him (v. 10). Then Jonah preached to the Ninevites,

and they repented (3:8-10).



If God could hear Jonah's plea from inside a big fish, He can hear us and

rescue us from wherever we are. Instead of running from God, let's run to Him

in prayer, knowing that He will answer us when we cry out to Him.



Reflect & Pray



Why do you sometimes run from God? How can you run to Him today?



Dear God, thank You for the rescue You alone provide.

Week 6 Showing Grace to Others - Day 6 Reconciliation



2 Cor 5:18-19



18 All this is from God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ

and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation,

19 that is, that God was

in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their sins

against them, and has entrusted to us the message of reconciliation.



18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus

Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself,

not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us

the word of reconciliation.



When Paul writes in 2 Cor 5:17 that we become a "new creation" in Christ

Jesus, the story does not end there. The verses following give us direction

for tht new life in Christ. "All This", Paul says, referring to the miracle of

new life in Christ, "is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ

and gave us the ministry of reconciliation."

Reconciliation means to bring back together what was once separated. Man was

separated from God by sin, and God took the initiative to reconcile man to

himself. Our "ministry of reconciliation" as Christians is twofold: to draw

others to the Lord and to work for reconciliation between individuals.

Reconciliation is the ultimate goal of forgiveness. God, through his grace ,

extends forgiveness to us when we are still sinners, unrepentant,

undeserving. When we respond, we come into reconciliation with him

and are brought back into oneness. Likewise, when we extend the grace

of forgiveness to another, we are set free by the act of forgiving, but we

hope that the ultimate outcome will be reconciliation.

God shows us the pattern: he is the wronged party, yet he does not wait for

the offender to come to him, hat in hand. He takes a bold initiative, offering

forgiveness freely with out regard to merit. The pattern applies to us;

as the new life in Christ takes hold of us, we must reach out, and reach,

and keep on reaching, breaking down the barriers, taking the risk of

rejection so that we may come to reconciliation.



Application



a) What barriers stand between me and reconciliation with another person?



b) How can I take a risk and reach out to offer forgiveness and

reconciliation to them?



c) What kind of attitude do I need to be a "minister of reconciliation"?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Deut 29:9



9 (Dt 4:6; Jos 1:7)Therefore, keep the words of this covenant

and do them, so that you may prosper in all you do.



9 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them,

that ye may prosper in all that ye do.



5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:



When you are ill or injured



Psalm 103:1-5



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.



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.



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.

Proverbs 14

1 Every wise woman buildeth her house:

But the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.

2 He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD:

But he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.

3 In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride:

But the lips of the wise shall preserve them.

4 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean:

But much increase is by the strength of the ox.

5 A faithful witness will not lie:

But a false witness will utter lies.

6 A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not:

But knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.

7 Go from the presence of a foolish man,

When thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.

8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way:

But the folly of fools is deceit.

9 Fools make a mock at sin:

But among the righteous there is favour.

10 The heart knoweth his own bitterness;

And a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy.

11 The house of the wicked shall be overthrown:

But the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.

12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man,

But the end thereof are the ways of death.

13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful;

And the end of that mirth is heaviness.

14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways:

And a good man shall be satisfied from himself.

15 The simple believeth every word:

But the prudent man looketh well to his going.

16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil:

But the fool rageth, and is confident.

17 He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly:

And a man of wicked devices is hated.

18 The simple inherit folly:

But the prudent are crowned with knowledge.

19 The evil bow before the good;

And the wicked at the gates of the righteous.

20 The poor is hated even of his own neighbour:

But the rich hath many friends.

21 He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth:

But he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.

22 Do they not err that devise evil?

But mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.

23 In all labour there is profit:

But the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.

24 The crown of the wise is their riches:

But the foolishness of fools is folly.

25 A true witness delivereth souls:

But a deceitful witness speaketh lies.

26 In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence:

And his children shall have a place of refuge.

27 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life,

To depart from the snares of death.

28 In the multitude of people is the king's honour:

But in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.

29 He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding:

But he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

30 A sound heart is the life of the flesh:

But envy the rottenness of the bones.

31 He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker:

But he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.

32 The wicked is driven away in his wickedness:

But the righteous hath hope in his death.

33 Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding:

But that which is in the midst of fools is made known.

34 Righteousness exalteth a nation:

But sin is a reproach to any people.

35 The king's favour is toward a wise servant:

But his wrath is against him that causeth shame.

Day 155 of my 6th Bible Study Journey Part 4



6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2026 edition?)



Quebec



Quick facts on Muslims in Quebec



Quebec 2015 population 8214 000



est Muslim Population 418946



CNMM Networks: Montreal



There is a growing Muslim population in Quebec City and a smattering

of Muslims scattered around the rest of the province, yet the vast majority

of Muslims live in the greater Montreal area. n fact, 23% of Canada's Muslim

population live in Quebec. Why is that? It is largely because Francophone

African Muslims are attracted to La Belle Provence.

And here's an interesting, perhaps even shocking fact: There are more

Muslims in Montreal than there are evangelical Christians.

This is one demographic factor creates a challenging environment for churches

and believers here: The size of the available 'workforce' is small

by comparison to begin with. Believers are already is a host culture that

is often either indifferent to religion or resistant to it. And now

this 'new' religious community of Muslims - many of whom do not visibly

or socially conform to Quebec society - are a growing population. It might br

easy for Christians to feel overwhelm by this cultural double-whammy,

yet God has always worked miracles through the small, the few.

Agree in prayer for :



- The people of Quebec, Muslim or otherwise, to be open to the Gospel

- for Muslims who are encountering believers and responding

-for a new group of Muslim background believers who are meeting

together for worship!

- For pastors and believers to be full of passion, faith and vision for

reaching Muslims in Quebec.



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 "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.

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.

19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:

blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- 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!



And



Thank you for praying through the

5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.



"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,

I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to

cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.



Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians

and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the

love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.

One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by

light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.



As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and

confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution

to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.



Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.

Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father

to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.



I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.

God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through

the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom

and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."



13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy

and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,

through the power of the Holy Spirit.



[13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that

ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.



ROMANS 15:13



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

(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .

2) Our Daily Bread for 4 June 2026 Titled

Freedom in God's Love
by Monica La Rose



1 John 1:5-9 , 1 John 2:7-10



God Is Light



5 (1Jn 3:11; Jas 1:17) This then is the message which we have heard from Him

and declare to you: God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all.

6 (1Jn 4:20; 1:10) If we say that we have fellowship with Him, yet walk

in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.

7 (Isa 2:5; Eph 1:7) But if we walk in the light as He is in the light,

we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ

His Son cleanses us from all sin.

8 (Jas 3:2; 1Jn 2:4) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves,

and the truth is not in us.

9 (Ps 32:5; Pr 28:13) If we confess our sins, He is faithful

and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

10 (1Jn 5:10; 1:8) If we say that we have not sinned,

we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.



[5] This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto

you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

[6] If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we

lie, and do not the truth:

[7] But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship

one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from

all sin.

[8] If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is

not in us.

[9] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,

and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

[10] If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is

not in us.



The New Commandment



7 (1Jn 3:11; Lev 19:18; 2Jn 1:5-6) Brothers, I am writing no new commandment

to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning.

The old commandment is the word which you have heard from the beginning.

8 (Jn 1:9; 13:34) Yet a new commandment I am writing to you, which holds true

in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away,

and the true light is already shining.

9 (1Jn 2:11; 4:20) Whoever says he is in the light but hates his brother

is in darkness even until now.

10 (2Pe 1:10; 1Jn 3:14) Whoever loves his brother lives in the light,

and in him there is no cause for stumbling.



[7] Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment

which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye

have heard from the beginning.

[8] Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him

and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.

[9] He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness

even until now.

[10] He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none

occasion of stumbling in him.



If you've ever heard the expression "albatross around my neck" - a phrase

referring to a tiresome burden - you've heard an allusion to English poet

Samuel Coleridge's famous poem "Rime of the Ancient Mariner." In the poem, a

sailor shoots and kills a harmless, friendly albatross. The crew believes

the mariner's cruel deed curses their voyage and forces him to wear the dead

bird around his neck as punishment.



Are there regrets in your life that feel like a heavy weight around your neck?

All of us have moments we'd do anything to take back. It can feel like we're

cursed to carry the weight of our guilt and regret forever.



Yet God's grace can free our hearts from even the most painful regret. We all

have sin (1 John 1:8, 10), but when we honestly confess our burdens to God,

we're promised he "will forgive us our sins and purify us from all

unrighteousness" (v. 9). As His grace rushes in, His light and love can flow

through us (2:10), freeing us to love those around us (3:14).



In Coleridge's poem, the tormented mariner also eventually experiences this

grace. When love for God’s creation rushes into his heart and compels him to

pray, the albatross falls off his neck, vanishing

forever "like lead into the sea."



Reflect & Pray



What can feel like an "albatross" around your neck?

What does it mean for you to accept God's grace for your guilt?



Dear God, thank You that the guilt I carry doesn't

exclude me from experiencing Your beauty and grace.

Please help me find freedom in Your love today.

3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation



Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 6 Showing Grace to Others - Day 5 When you pray



Mark 11:25



25 And when you stand praying, forgive if you have anything against anyone,

so that your Father who is in heaven may also forgive you your sins.



25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any:

that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.



"My prayer don't seem to be very effective," a man told his pastor." I try

to make contact with God, but my prayers seem to hit the ceiling and bounce

back."

The pastor thought for a moment, then gently suggested,

"Is there someone in your life you haven't forgiven?"

"What do you mean?" The man's face flushed; the pastor has obviuosly struck

a nerve. "Well, I guess I've had some struggles with my mother ... and then,

my wife, and I ... ." The hidden truth came to light: the man was bound in

unforgiving relationships with five of the closest people to him.

Forgiveness is an essential element in prayer. For a very good reason,

worship services in liturgical churches place the confession of sin and the

absolution near the beginning of the service, before the reading of God's

Word, prayer, and the sermon. Forgiveness - both the Lord's forgiveness

of us and our forgiveness of others - clears the way for unhindered

communication between God and his people.

When we carry anger and bitterness, or even deeply buried, well-subliminated

unforgiveness, into the presence of God, our prayers will be affected. We can,

however, free the Holy Spirit to work in our lives and the lives of others

through forgiveness. We can choose to forgive in light of God's forgiveness

of us. And when we do, the channels are re-established;

we can pray in power and open ourselves to an awareness of his activity

in our lives.



Application



a) Have my prayers ever been affected by unforgiveness in my life?



b) Is there someone in my life whom I need to forgive,

whether or not I can work toward?



4) Prosperity verses from Kenneth Copeland



Joshua 1:8



8 (Ps 19:14; 119:15) This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth.

Meditate on it day and night so that you may act carefully according to all

that is written in it. For then you will make your way successful,

and you will be wise.



8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt

meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according

to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous,

and then thou shalt have good success.



5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:



When you are discouraged or Depressed



Matthew 11:25-30



25 (Ps 8:2; Jn 11:41) At that time Jesus said, "I thank You, O Father,

Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things

from the wise and prudent and revealed them to infants.

26 Even so, Father, for it seemed good in Your sight.

27 (Jn 10:15; Mt 28:18; Jn 1:18) "All things are delivered to Me

by My Father, and no one knows the Son, except the Father.

And no one knows the Father, except the Son and he to whom

the Son will reveal Him.

28 (Jn 7:37; 6:37) "Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavily

burdened, and I will give you rest.

29 (Jer 6:16; Jn 13:15) Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me.

For I am meek and lowly in heart,

and you will find rest for your souls.(Jer 6:16).

30 (1Jn 5:3) For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light."

because He has dealt bountifully with me.



The Hidden Revelation

25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father,

Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things

from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man

knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father,

save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden,

and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek

and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.



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.
