rededicating
Renewing a commitment
Rededicating is recommitting to a purpose, cause, or principle after a lapse or renewal of intention.
A church may be rededicated after renovation; a person rededicates themselves to a goal they'd neglected: After his health scare, he spent the year rededicating himself to fitness.
The word implies conscious renewal rather than fresh commitment.
