Acts 3:19 - teaches us that "times of refreshing" come to us when we spend time in God's presence. Until we come to the place where we want God's presence more than anything else, Satan will have an edge over us.
Once we see God's truth Satan loses his advantage and we begin making radical progress in our relationship and fellowship with God.
Most of us will try almost everything else before we finally learn that what we need is not what god can give us, but God Himself. These times often represent years of frustration and misery. But thank God, His Holy Spirit lives in us, teaches us, and reveals truth to us as we continue to study, read, and listen to the Word of God.
God wants to bring a refreshing into your life, like a mighty wind. Do not be poverty-stricken in your soul when the answer is so close. If you are too busy to spend time with God, then make some adjustments to your lifestyle. Do not get burned-out, upset, weary, and stressed-out when times of refreshing are available to you.
Learn to separate yourself from the busyness of life to spend time with God the way Jesus did. I tell people. "You had better come apart and spend time with God before you fall apart." I encourage you to take those personally and do the same!
