EVENING REFLECTION
What if the thing you keep asking God to restore…
is the very thing He is trying to teach you to release?
Sometimes we pray:
“God, fix it.”
“Bring it back.”
“Make it work.”
“Open that door again.”
But what if God is saying, “I closed it for a reason.”
Not every ending is the enemy.
Not every closed door is rejection.
Not everything that leaves your life is meant to be chased.
There are times when faith is not believing God will bring something back.
Sometimes faith is trusting Him enough to let it go.
Ecclesiastes 3:6 reminds us that there is “a time to keep, and a time to cast away.”
So tonight, ask yourself:
Am I praying for restoration…
or resisting release?
And an even deeper question:
Have I given God permission to answer differently than I hoped?
