Thanking God for the Doors That Didn’t Open

Have you ever wondered why God closed a door you were sure He wanted you to walk through?

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is thank God for the doors that didn’t open. We pray for opportunities, relationships, or outcomes we believe are right — and when they fall apart, we question God’s goodness. But what if the door that closed wasn’t punishment… what if it was protection?

In this episode, we dive into what it looks like when we try to force something to work, push against every obstacle, & get frustrated when the plan doesn’t go our way. We’ll talk about how to recognize when you’re fighting a closed door, how to trust God when you don’t understand His timing, and what to do when disappointment turns into doubt. You’ll be reminded that God plays the long game — even when we’re focused on the short one.

If you’ve ever felt angry, confused, or forgotten when God closed a door in your life, this conversation will encourage you to see His “no” not as rejection, but as redirection. Because behind every closed door, there’s a God who sees what’s ahead — and loves you too much to let you walk into something that wasn’t meant for you.
