The Refining Room

Your quiet place for weekly faith-centered encouragement, devotionals, scripture and prayer. Come here for a fresh word weekly, every Sunday

The Word for
the Week:

"Create in me a clean heart, O' God, and renew a right spirit within me." -
Psalm 51: 10

This week, let God gently shape the parts of your heart that feel heavy, hurried, stressed, or worn. Refinement doesn't happen all at once; it happens slowly, but intentionally. It happens in the quiet moments where your choose to let God enter into your heart and mind and you slowly start to trust every tweak, strength and bend that He does within you all works towards your refinement. As you move through this week, pause, breathe, and let Him soften what feels tense and strengthen what feels weak.

Weekly Devotional:

A Refining Prayer

“Lord,
Create in me a clean heart.
Wash away anything in me that does not reflect You.
Renew my spirit today—steady it, soften it, align it with Your will.

Where I feel heavy, bring light.
Where I feel unsure, bring clarity.
Where I feel weary, bring Your peace.

Refine my thoughts, my emotions, my motives,
so that everything flowing from me honors You.
Make my heart tender, my spirit teachable,
and my life a reflection of Your love and purity.

Do a new work within me, Lord.
Shape me, strengthen me,
and continue transforming me from the inside out.

I surrender my heart to Your hands—
confident that whatever You renew, You also restore.

Amen.”
