@pray: Sometimes, we find ourselves relentlessly chasing after something—a dream, a relationship, a job—only to meet closed doors at every turn. It can be frustrating and even heartbreaking, but when God blocks a path, it is often His way of protecting us or redirecting us toward something better. Instead of forcing something that isn’t meant to be, we should surrender our desires to God and trust His guidance. Let go of what was closed, and free ourselves to receive the best.
