Day 9: Refresh | Freedom & Flow 2025

I know we’re in the thick of winter, but my mind is on spring today. I’m an April baby, so I love the springtime. It feels new, warm, and refreshing. The frost gives way to buds, the rain cleanses, the sun shines a little longer and everything feels a little lighter. Today, we’re focusing on the idea of refreshing, but for our souls.

As we release distractions, burdens, and even guilt, we make space for God to fill us with His peace, joy, and renewal. Scripture reminds us in Acts 3:19 that when we turn to God in repentance, times of refreshing come from His presence. It’s a promise: as we draw near to Him, He restores us in ways nothing else can.

So today, let’s lean into His goodness. Whether through prayer, worship, or quiet time, allow His refreshing power to wash you clean and fill you up. Trust that He’s working in you and through you, renewing your spirit for what’s ahead. How are you making space for God to refresh you today?
