Refresh
Intense, continual living and giving of ourselves can lead to spiritual fatigue and even burnout. To guard against this, Jesus often took his followers away for times of rest. Having extended time, whether for a day or several days, to relax and appreciate the gifts of God’s creation, to rediscover the wonder of God, to take in an inspiring conference or to enjoy other life-giving moments is vital to being deeply refreshed and staying in the pursuit.
