Thank you for joining us on the blog, designed to give everyone at Northview access to experiencing Northview40 together. We invite you to email us at Northview40@gmail.com and share your experiences throughout the 40 days. Your comments will be posted here as well as each day's prayer topic, corresponding Bible verses, and a suggestion each week for how we can fast together during this time. Your involvement will help make Northview40 a rich experience for all.
We hope that you will be encouraged to take your own steps toward a deeper connection with God, your goal being intimacy with Him, not just a "perfect prayer life" for several weeks. A wise woman has said, "No one of us would say we don't need God. But how much of what we do is done without Him?" Let's invest a few minutes each day to pray and a few more minutes once a week to fast, taking a risk to need Him and watching to see what He will do.
12. Hear my prayer, O LORD,
ReplyDeletelisten to my cry for help;
be not deaf to my weeping.
For I dwell with you as an alien,
a stranger, as all my fathers were.
Psalm 39,12
I know for weeks now that God has really been speaking to me about that voice in my head. I hope you don't have it; and no I'm not talking about literally hearing another voice, it's that small voice I'm referring to that continually tells me negative things about myself. "God doesn't love you, you can't do that," etc. I pray that God would help me change that about me. I know that God loves me in my head, and I know that I can do many things well; I just need God to help my heart think that.
ReplyDeleteGod shown me that sometimes I really need to separate my emotions from life with Him, because even good emotions can take me on the wrong way.
ReplyDeleteThanks God that He always want to teach us!
