When the door is slammed on your face

There's a common phrase in the Bible "Ask and it shall be given, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be open..." That phrase is as common as oxygen.

But truth is, there are times when you ask and you're not given, you seek and you can't find, and you knock and the door is not even open. When everything seems to be at a standstill. Or there are times when things seemed to be fine, until something happens and everything suddenly goes bezerk.

And there are also times when things seem to be bright, but somehow they just dim. Out of nowhere, the door seems to have been slammed on your face. When you've been promised the promotion, and suddenly it goes to someone else. Or when the job application seems so on point, but somehow you never get called. Life always has all these door-banging incidents.

The one thing I learned about all these incidences - Everything works for a reason. Every bright light that has suddenly been dimmed has some reason behind it. Every cloud has a silver lining. All you have to do is give them all to God in prayer. In due time, you'll realize God never wastes a tear, He never lets a bad incident go down. You'll realize that maybe, it was His plan, so he can plummet you to something bigger, better. Or maybe He sees you're not fit. Or whatever the reason. It will unfold, in due time.

When the door's shut, just ask God. He'll help you with the situation
