“God Is Ordering My Steps”
By Dianne Prince
“See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut.” — Revelation 3:8
Few things are more discouraging than a closed door. It can cause you to question your direction, your decisions, and even your value. But hear this today: a closed door is not the end of your story. Often, it is God’s divine redirection.
Perhaps the job you depended on ended unexpectedly. Perhaps the home you hoped to purchase or that apartment you planned to rent slipped away. Perhaps a relationship you believed would lead to marriage came to an abrupt end. What felt like a setback may have been the hand of God protecting, preparing, and positioning you for something greater.
God sees what you cannot see. He knows what is ahead, and He never closes a door without purpose. What appears to be a denial may actually be deliverance. What feels like a loss may be God’s way of leading you to a better opportunity, a healthier relationship, or a higher calling.
Remember this truth: When God closes a door, He is not canceling your future—He is clearing the path for His purpose. The door that closed behind you cannot compare to the door God is preparing before you.
Even now, God is arranging circumstances and preparing doors that align with His plan for your life. The right door will not require you to force your way through. When God opens a door, no person, obstacle, or circumstance can shut it.
So do not lose heart. Keep trusting, keep praying, and keep moving forward. Refuse to become stuck in disappointment or distracted by what did not work out. God is ordering your steps, and in His perfect timing, the right door will open.
Declare this over yourself today: “I trust God with every closed door, knowing that He is ordering my steps and preparing the right door to open in His perfect timing.”
