The Closed Door Opened After Years of Waiting

For seven years I had been praying for one thing, and the doors kept closing, time after time. Sometimes I despaired and sometimes I doubted, but I learned to keep going. Then, on a very ordinary day, the answer came from where I least expected it, in a way I had never imagined. If God had answered on the first day, I would have missed everything I learned on the journey of waiting.

“I waited patiently for the LORD; he inclined to me and heard my cry.”

Psalm 40:1
