How to Trust God When a Door Closes

Have you had trouble putting your trust in God when a door closes in your life? That happened to me not so long ago, but I learned how to choose faith instead of fear and doubt.

In hindsight now, I realize that God closed that door with perfect wisdom. I simply had to trust that he had the best in mind for me.

I’m writing about trusting God when a door closes at W2W Ministries today. Here’s a peek at my post, and I hope you’ll head over to read the rest.

When a Door Closes

This morning I opened an email which was a closed door.

No one likes getting a door closed in their face when they expected an open door.

At first I felt shocked and disappointed.  I’ve been working hard, training to write articles for pay.  Lots of rules to follow.  Lots of new things to learn.  I did everything to the best of my ability.  I thought good things were on the horizon with this partnership.

But today, I received a rejection notice.  Because I hadn’t followed the stringent rules to a T, I was dropped from the team.

It’s not a good time in my life for a door to close, at least in my opinion.  The clock is ticking on finding another opportunity, and I’m tempted to fear.

As I stared at the screen with a virtual closed door, I realized I had a choice: get discouraged or get back up. I had to revisit my belief in who God is…

To gain encouragement for moving forward when a door closes, keep reading over at W2W Ministries.
