A Closed Door Is Often A Answered Prayer

Finding peace starts with surrendering our worries to the universe and trusting that God’s guidance will meet us in the middle of our uncertainty. Best-selling author of Finding God Every Day, Rebecca Simon, reminds us to trust God’s timing, embrace patience, and lean on His presence through every season of life.

We spend our lives begging for access to rooms that would eventually destroy us, convinced that if we just tried harder, or were “better,” or more “healed,” the lock would turn.

But sometimes, the most profound form of protection is the thing we mistake for failure. Rejection is not a commentary on your value; it is a redirection of your energy. It is the universe’s way of ensuring you don’t build a life in a place that no longer has the capacity to hold you. You aren’t being denied; you are being rerouted toward a version of yourself that can only exist because you were forced to walk away from what you thought you wanted.
