Some Doors Deserve to Stay Closed

✨ Not all doors lead to life.

Dear Friend,
Just because you could go back… doesn’t mean you should.
Some doors were closed by God — for your protection, not your punishment.
This prayer helps you resist the pull of what once was and honor the new path being built.

🕊️ Prayer of the Day

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the doors You’ve shut —

even when I cried, questioned, or begged for them to open.

You saw what I couldn’t.

You knew what I didn’t.

And in Your wisdom, You closed what would’ve harmed me, delayed me, or derailed me.

Forgive me for the times I tried to reopen what You ended.

Today, I trust that if a door didn’t open, it wasn’t meant to.

You’re doing a new thing, and I don’t want to miss it

by standing at a doorway You’ve already walked me past.

Amen.

In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

💡 Why This Prayer Matters

Because when you stop chasing what’s behind you,
you make room for what’s ahead.
Not every opportunity is meant for your future.
Some doors were never meant to stay open — and that’s grace, not punishment.
This prayer is a holy release.
It shifts your eyes from what ended to what God is unfolding next.

🪞 Daily Reflection

Pause for a moment and reflect:

Closure isn’t weakness — it’s wisdom.
Sometimes the most powerful move you can make
is to stop knocking on the door God already locked.
Ask yourself: Am I lingering at something God already closed?
Your next chapter begins where the last one truly ends.

🗣️ Speak This Over Your Day

Find a quiet space. Take a slow breath.

Put your palms together and say:

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?”

— Isaiah 43:18

Stay Blessed!

— Mama Raya
