So repent (change your mind and purpose); turn around and return {to God], that your sins may be erased (blotted out, wiped clean), times refreshing…may come from the presence of the Lord.
God manifests His presence in many ways. Most of the time we can't see Him, but, like the wind, we can see the work He does in us. If I'm tired, weary, frustrated, or bothered about something, and I become refreshed after spending time with God, then I know the wind of the Spirit has blown on me. God wants to bring a refreshing into your life. Don't be frustrated or worn-out in your soul when the answer is living inside of you. If you are too busy to spend time with God, you are simply too busy, so make some adjustments to your schedule. Don't be burned out, upset, weary, and stressed out when times of refreshing are available to you.
Learn to come away from the busyness of life to spend time with God the way Jesus did. You can't wait for the people around you to approve of the time you need to spend with God. Somebody will always find something they think you need to do! Set aside first thing in the morning if at all possible and then try taking several "mini-spiritual vacations" throughout the day.
Stop what you are doing for two or three minutes; take a deep, breath to help you relax and simply tell God how much you love and need Him. Be quiet in His presence for the remainder of the time and you will be refreshed in an amazing way.
Prayer of the Day: Lord, help me prioritize time with You. Help me find peace in Your presence, and experience refreshment for my soul, amen.
