Rejection feels painful, but sometimes it’s God’s protection.
There was a time when I was so sure I knew what was best for me. I prayed for it. I envisioned it. I planned my life around it. In my mind, everything would fall into place if only I got this one thing—the job, the opportunity, the relationship.
Then the door slammed shut. No explanation. Just silence.
At first, I was frustrated. Confused. I kept asking, “God, why would You let me get this close just to say no?”
I wrestled with it for months. I even tried to force things on my own, convinced that maybe if I worked harder, prayed longer, pushed a little more, I could make it happen.
But now? I thank God I didn’t get what I wanted.
Because what I once saw as a loss was really God’s protection. That job would have drained me. That opportunity wasn’t meant for me. That relationship would have held me back. What I thought I needed would have distracted me from what was truly meant for me.
The truth is—sometimes, God’s greatest gifts come in unanswered prayers.
📌 If a door doesn’t open, trust that God sees something you don’t yet.
📌 Just because you wanted it doesn’t mean it was right for you.
📌 One day, you’ll look back and be grateful for what didn’t work out.
👉 What’s something you once wanted that you’re now grateful you didn’t get? Let’s talk about it.
