Personal Renewal

Finding God in the Quiet

Have you heard of the “quiet revival?” Experts like Dr. Rhiannon McAleer notes a cultural shift occurring among Gen Z. A shift responsible for reversing the decline of the church in England. A shift that includes both young men and women, and extends beyond ethnicity or skin color.

In the previous series, I mentioned that God met me amid lockdowns and chaos. I longed to be filled with His presence. For a closer relationship with Him. I didn’t realize it at the time, but I yearned for personal revival.

Maybe you feel disoriented, disconnected, or distraught. Perhaps personal circumstances have felt too heavy or confusing. You might be experiencing a dry spiritual season, and you know only the Lord can refresh your spirit.

I’m praying you might enjoy a quiet revival of your own.

The first step? Embrace quiet.

Verse of the Day

“Cease striving and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” (Psalm 46:10 LSB)

Shift Toward Revival

• Revival begins in the quiet places—a prayer closet, favorite chair, or any location in which you dedicate time and space to Him.

• Revival requires intentionality and a focus on personal connection with Jesus.

• Revival demands an exchange of our mess for His shalom; a willingness to cease striving as we sit at the feet of Jesus.

Simple Steps for Your Week

• Like last week, set aside at least 5-10 minutes each day to soak in the quiet, invite His presence, and listen.

• Journal what God reveals or how He calms your heart in those moments.

• Remember, some revivals are quiet.
