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.
1. I love the LORD, for he heard my voice;
ReplyDeletehe heard my cry for mercy.
2. Because he turned his ear to me,
I will call on him as long as I live.
3. The cords of death entangled me,
the anguish of the grave [a] came upon me;
I was overcome by trouble and sorrow.
4. Then I called on the name of the LORD :
"O LORD, save me!"
5. The LORD is gracious and righteous;
our God is full of compassion.
6. The LORD protects the simplehearted;
when I was in great need, he saved me.
7. Be at rest once more, O my soul,
for the LORD has been good to you.
8. For you, O LORD, have delivered my soul
from the death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling,
9. that I may walk before the LORD
in the land of the living.
Psalm 116,1-9
