If you want God to open doors for you, you need to let go of the doork**b.
Just let that land for a second.
Because most of us have been standing at a closed door for a while now. And we have prayed about it. Genuinely, sincerely, on our knees prayed about it.
We have believed.
We have declared.
We have stood on every promise we could find and spoken faith over the situation until faith was the only language we had left.
And then we grabbed the doork**b.
Just to check. Just to see if maybe it had loosened a little since last time. Just to give it one more try because surely by now — surely after all this waiting and all this praying and all this trusting — surely it should be opening by now. It didn't open.
So we rattled it a little. Then we pushed on it. Then we found someone who might know someone who could possibly help get this door open and we started making calls. Then we started considering whether maybe this was actually the wrong door and we should try the window instead.
And all the while God is standing on the other side of a different door, a better door, a door we haven't even seen yet, a door that opens into something so much bigger than what we've been rattling the k**b on just waiting.
Waiting for us to let go.
Because here is the thing about white-knuckling a closed door you cannot receive what God has for you when both hands are busy holding onto what He already said no to.
Letting go isn't giving up. Don't let anyone tell you that and don't tell yourself that in the quiet moments when letting go feels terrifyingly close to defeat.
Letting go is the bravest, most faith-filled thing you can do. It is saying I trust You more than I trust my grip. I trust Your plan more than I trust my understanding. I trust that what You have ahead is better than what I have been holding onto with everything I had.
Open hands receive. Clenched fists can't.
Let go of the doork**b.
Take a breath.
And watch what God does with a person who finally decided to trust Him completely.
Because He has been waiting to show you and it is better than anything behind that door you've been holding onto.
Drop a 🙏 if God is asking you to let go of something right now and share this with someone who has been holding that doork**b a little too long. 👇
