40-Day Prayer Journey
It is an honor and a privilege to invite you to join all U.S. Navigators on a 40-Day Prayer Journey of seeking God together, September 30 – November 8, leading up to our National Staff Gathering. The heartbeat of this journey is to prepare our hearts for NSG23, happening in Irving, Texas this upcoming November 9-12, 2023.
Our desire is to prepare the tent for our journey together that will enable us to carry the very presence of God on our journey together, much like the nation of Israel in the Old Testament. We sense an invitation from God to receive a fresh filling of His presence.
This bedouin image captures the idea so beautifully!
Today, we are the dwelling place of Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit. We collectively are His temple, His tent of meeting. And as we enter this 40-Day Prayer Journey together, may our great God and Father draw us into the innermost chamber with the fullest experience of His presence.
On each day of the 40-Day Prayer Journey, you will receive an email to guide you through a brief time of prayer and praise. If you have registered for NSG23, you will automatically receive this email. If you are not subscribed but would like to be a part of this journey, you may subscribe below.
Together, we will focus on God, expressing our hunger and thirst for more of God Himself, much like David in Psalm 63:1, “O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, in a dry and weary land where there is no water” (NASB 1995). This is our ultimate prayer request— for more of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We will begin with a “one-request zone” as expressed in Psalm 27:4:
One thing I have asked from the LORD,
that I shall seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the LORD
And to meditate in His temple. (NASB)
As we begin our 40-Day Prayer Journey, let’s seek God’s presence as never before. Let’s be like Jacob, who said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me” (Genesis 32:26 NASB 1995). May His presence become as real to us as He desires it to be! Trust Him to take you to a deeper place of experiencing His presence.
We look forward to journeying with you,
Vic Black, on behalf of Marvin Campbell and the National Leadership Team
P.S. This 40-Day Prayer Journey for NSG23 contains material that was used in 2021 for The U.S. Navigators Selection Council 40-Day Prayer Journey. Many staff felt this journey prepared our hearts well then, and we pray it will prepare us now as we focus on gathering at NSG23.
