Welcome to March.
We are standing at the threshold of a new season. Winter has done its quiet work. Beneath the surface, roots have been strengthened, hidden places have been tended, and what looked dormant has been developing unseen. Now, as spring approaches, we are invited to participate intentionally in what God is cultivating.
Scripture reminds us that God works in seasons:
“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” (Isaiah 43:19)
Spiritual renewal rarely begins with activity. It begins with posture.
Preparing the Heart: Renewal Before Activity
We are not ignorant of the adversary’s schemes (2 Corinthians 2:11). Whenever the Spirit of God begins to move with intention, there is often simultaneous resistance. Divine stirring is frequently accompanied by distraction. Scripture affirms that God is not the author of confusion but of peace (1 Corinthians 14:33); therefore, where clarity is increasing, confusion attempts to infiltrate. Where unity is being established, division looks for an opening. Where holiness is taking root, compromise subtly invites agreement.
This is our summons to spiritual focus. We lift our gaze not in fear, but in confidence—because “greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world” (1 John 4:4). The One who fights for us far surpasses any force that opposes us.
Spring preparation is not first about outward productivity; it is about inward purification.
David understood this. After grievous sin, he did not justify himself. He did not minimize his condition. He prayed:
“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.” (Psalm 51:10)
Notice the theology here. David does not say, “Help me fix myself.” He appeals to divine creation. The Hebrew word bara (create) is the same word used in Genesis 1, a creative act only God can perform. Renewal is not self-improvement; it is spiritual re-creation.
Even if we feel our sins are “not that deep,” renewal is not reserved for crisis. It is a discipline of consecration. Spring invites us to examine:
- Where has my heart grown dull?
- Where has distraction replaced devotion?
- Where have subtle compromises entered?
- Where has weariness displaced wonder?
Renewal requires humility. James 4:8 instructs us:
“Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands… purify your hearts.”
Hands and hearts.
Hands speak to action.
Hearts speak to affection.
Spring cleaning in the Kingdom is both.
Four Ways to Prepare Your Heart for Renewal
1. Practice Intentional Repentance
Repentance is not shame-based. It is directional. The Greek word metanoia means a change of mind, a reorientation. Ask the Holy Spirit to search you (Psalm 139:23–24). Invite conviction, not condemnation (Romans 8:1).
2. Fast from Noise
Confusion thrives in overcrowded mental spaces. Consider fasting from excessive media, unnecessary commentary, or reactive conversations. Create room for the still, small voice (1 Kings 19:12).
3. Recommit to Corporate Prayer
The early Church did not experience outpouring in isolation (Acts 2:1). Renewal often precedes revival, and revival is sustained through unified prayer.
4. Re-Sanctify the Home
As Christian mothers, renewal begins within our gates. Anoint your home in prayer. Speak Scripture over your children. Reestablish rhythms of worship in ordinary spaces. The ekklesia is strengthened when the home altar is restored.
A Call to Gather
Here at Christian Mommas, we are not passive observers of the season; we are participants.
We invite you to join our March 6, 2026, Prayer Charge, a focused time of intercession and consecration as we prepare for what God is unfolding.
We also encourage you to explore the Christian Mommas App, where upcoming gatherings, teachings, and resources are available to strengthen your walk with clarity and conviction.
In April, we will gather for a 120-Hour Prayer Charge, with an option to participate in person in Alpharetta, Georgia, as we commemorate and honor the legacy of the Azusa Street Revival.
The Azusa outpouring reminds us that sustained prayer precedes sustained awakening. What began as a humble intercession became a movement that reshaped global Christianity. Renewal in our generation will follow the same pattern: humility, hunger, holiness.
Fix Your Gaze
Colossians 3:2 instructs us to set our minds on things above. Spring renewal begins when our gaze lifts from cultural turbulence to Kingdom alignment.
As mothers, wives, leaders, and builders of sacred homes, we cannot afford spiritual stagnation. This is a season to cleanse, consecrate, and cultivate.
May March not simply mark a change in weather.
May it mark a recalibration of the heart.
Let us posture ourselves for renewal.
Let us prepare the soil.
Let us fix our gaze on heaven.
Spring is coming — and so is fresh oil.
We look forward to journeying with you.
