Dear Friend,

Throughout Scripture, we see moments when God called His people back to the altar. The altar was a place of worship, sacrifice, surrender, prayer, and encounter with God. But there were also times when the altar had been neglected, broken down, or forgotten—and it had to be rebuilt. I believe we are living in a season where God is calling many of us to repair the altar. Maybe your prayer life has become dry. Maybe you’ve been so busy that you’ve lost your place of quietness with God. Maybe disappointment, discouragement, or the pressures of life have caused you to pull back. Or perhaps God is simply calling you into a deeper place of surrender and intimacy with Him.

The question is: What does your altar look like today? It’s time to rebuild. Repairing the Altar is an invitation to examine our spiritual foundations and return to the place where we encounter God. It is about restoring what has been neglected and allowing the Lord to reignite our passion for His presence.
