Thank God for all of your unanswered prayers. Years later, you will look back and realize: that no was love. That closed door was protection. He knew better.
- That relationship I begged him to save? It needed to end.
- That job I didn’t get? It would have drained me.
- That person I wanted back? They were never meant for me.
- That timeline I created? It would have been too soon.
- That door I tried to force open? Was protecting me from the wrong path.
At the time, I was devastated. I was angry. I was deeply confused. I thought God wasn’t listening. But he was. He was just loving me enough to say no to what I wanted, so he could give me what I needed.
Years later, I look back and say: thank you for not giving me what I asked for. Thank you for protecting me. Thank you for knowing better.
Unanswered prayers are just prayers answered differently. And sometimes the greatest blessing is the “no.”
