Closed doors are so hard when it's things you've been really hoping and waiting for and you thought it was the right thing. But we have to realize who is in control especially when we've been diligently praying for Him to guide and direct our lives, and when we consider it we certainly don't want that thing that doesn't have God's favor and blessing over it. Closed doors means He's got something better in mind. And when one door closes another one usually opens. God is our guide and our protector. And as we pray diligently for Him to guide, guard, and direct our lives, and then closed doors happen, that's Him doing just that. Keeping us from situations that are not the best for us. But closed doors don't always feel good at the time. I'm going through something right now. But I just have to keep trusting, keep resting in Him, and praising Him for His guiding hand over my life. And be alert for the doors he does open. I'll share a canva design I just made the other night from saying I just seen about closed doors. Probably why I find it so hard is my lack of patience. I want to see things happen soon, and when it doesn't I think I've did something wrong. Either not working hard enough in that direction, or not praying hard enough, not fasting. Or a number of things. It's hard for me to just realize and except that either it's just not God's timing yet, or maybe just not the door he wants me to walk through and he closed the door that I thought was open for me. So that's hard. Hebrews 6:12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. Hebrews 6:12 KJV Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV Mae Renfroe
