                5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:<br /><br />
<br /><br />
God's Gift of Salvation<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Ps 51:1-13<br /><br />
<br /><br />
PSALMS 51<br /><br />
<br /><br />
For the Music Director. A Psalm of David,<br /><br />
when Nathan the Prophet came to him,<br /><br />
after he had gone in to Bathsheba.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
1 Have mercy on me, O God,<br /><br />
according to Your lovingkindness;<br /><br />
according to the abundance of Your compassion,<br /><br />
blot out my transgressions.<br /><br />
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2 ) Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,<br /><br />
and cleanse me from my sin.<br /><br />
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) For I acknowledge my transgressions,<br /><br />
and my sin is ever before me.<br /><br />
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) Against You, You only, have I sinned,<br /><br />
and done this evil in Your sight,<br /><br />
so that You are justified when You speak,<br /><br />
and You are blameless when You judge.<br /><br />
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) I was brought forth in iniquity,<br /><br />
and in sin my mother conceived me.<br /><br />
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) You desire truth in the inward parts,<br /><br />
and in the hidden part You make me to know wisdom.<br /><br />
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3 ) Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean;<br /><br />
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.<br /><br />
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) Make me to hear joy and gladness,<br /><br />
that the bones that You have broken may rejoice.<br /><br />
9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Hide Your face from my sins,<br /><br />
and blot out all my iniquities.<br /><br />
10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) Create in me a clean heart, O God,<br /><br />
and renew a right spirit within me.<br /><br />
11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Do not cast me away from Your presence,<br /><br />
and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.<br /><br />
12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,<br /><br />
and uphold me with Your willing spirit.<br /><br />
13 Then I will teach transgressors Your ways,<br /><br />
and sinners will return to You.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Remember God's promises when You pray<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The Lord's prayer <br /><br />
<br /><br />
Matthew 6:9-13<br /><br />
<br /><br />
9 "Therefore pray in this manner:<br /><br />
Our Father who is in heaven,<br /><br />
hallowed be Your name.<br /><br />
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;<br /><br />
Your will be done<br /><br />
on earth, as it is in heaven.<br /><br />
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.<br /><br />
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,<br /><br />
as we forgive our debtors.<br /><br />
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,<br /><br />
but deliver us from evil.<br /><br />
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."<br /><br />
<br /><br />
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: <br /><br />
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. <br /><br />
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. <br /><br />
11 Give us this day our daily bread. <br /><br />
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. <br /><br />
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: <br /><br />
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.<br /><br />

6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Alberta <br /><br />
<br /><br />
Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Alberta 2015 population  4121700<br /><br />
<br /><br />
est Muslim Population       195240<br /><br />
<br /><br />
CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton<br /><br />
<br /><br />
It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .<br /><br />
Alberta may have a total as high as 195240 today.<br /><br />
Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor.  It's<br /><br />
become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.<br /><br />
Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the largest group<br /><br />
coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries <br /><br />
such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.<br /><br />
Muslims are coming to faith in Jesus! They overcome huge spiritual,<br /><br />
emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still <br /><br />
continue, especially in growing in discipleship. They often fell lost in our<br /><br />
Western congregations, and equally lost trying to find a church body with whom<br /><br />
they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Please join us in praying for:<br /><br />
- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.<br /><br />
- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to<br /><br />
Muslim-background believers.<br /><br />
- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially<br /><br />
  in their faith and the Church.<br /><br />
- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their <br /><br />
not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.<br /><br />
- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.<br /><br />
- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim<br /><br />
  in these growing Muslim population centres.<br /><br />

Pray for Yemeni Women</a><br /><br />
<br /><br />
In her dust-choked city in Yemen, under the watchful eyes of her in-laws, <br /><br />
Samira lived a life shaped by obedience: to faith, to her husband, to fear. <br /><br />
But with her husband away in the militia, fighting in Yemen's ongoing civil <br /><br />
war, she felt a glimmer of hope because of her phone.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
When her children were tucked in around her and asleep, she kept returning to <br /><br />
websites she had found that offered such hope in her own language. With time, <br /><br />
she learned they were from the Bible. The words didn't condemn - they <br /><br />
comforted.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
"Come to Me, all who are weary."<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Samira found a way to ask questions, and her certainty grew that Jesus was <br /><br />
indeed the Way, the Truth and the Life. She explains that, "what Jesus did, <br /><br />
no one else can do. He raised the dead, healed the sick, and forgave sinners. <br /><br />
This is because he is God manifest in the flesh. Therefore, I followed Him <br /><br />
because there is no salvation apart from Jesus. To Him be all the glory!"<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Her phone became a place of fellowship as she learned of others in her city <br /><br />
who were also following Jesus. At first, she only connected with others via <br /><br />
chat, sharing scriptures and prayers. Then several believers found a way to <br /><br />
meet together, in various places and on different days.<br /><br />
See also  Pray for the Mehri Tribe<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Samira is concerned. She knows her in-laws have seen a change in her and are <br /><br />
suspicious. When they follow her, she changes direction and goes to her <br /><br />
parents' house where she quietly and carefully shares the stories of Jesus <br /><br />
with her brother.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
How to Pray<br /><br />
