Welcome

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.

Northview40.1 - Fasting

If you haven't considered it already, remember our first invitation to fast together. There will be 5 invitations throughout Northview40, suggesting specific, simple ways you can fast. Consider the following:


What is an activity within Christianity that you feel you "should" or are "supposed to" do? Think of what this might be and spend a few minutes doing it, asking God to help you do it from your heart. Trust Him to provide you with a fresh, meaningful experience.
