Often, we don't understand why all the doors are closed in our lives. We pray, we fast, we seek God, but nothing seems to change.
What to do in those moments?

In those moments we must trust that the Lord is in control and has a purpose in all things, even if we don't see a way out.
“Truly, truly I say to you, you are little children, and you have not yet understood how great blessings the Father has in his own hands and has prepared for you;
And you cannot bear all things now; nevertheless, be of good cheer, for I will guide you. Yours is the kingdom and its blessings, and the riches of eternity are yours.
And he that receiveth all things with thankfulness shall be glorified;
and the things of this earth shall be added unto him, even a hundredfold, yea, and more.” (D&C 78:17–19)
You must know that God isn't blocking the door, but protecting you! You may not understand His timing. However, if you trust in His faithfulness, you will understand that if the doors are closed, it doesn't mean your dreams have been interrupted, but rather that His plans are better than yours.

When we talk about open doors, we immediately think of an easy path to success, where everything works and there are no obstacles, right?
However, when we read the Scriptures, we realize that before the doors were opened, people had to struggle and suffer persecution.
Often, these people found themselves trapped in a seemingly hopeless situation But because they obeyed God and did not abandon their faith , the Lord acted at the right time, and the miracle happened!
So don't be discouraged when the struggle gets tougher. Stand firm in God's presence and never stop seeking Him. He will do whatever it takes to make all His plans come to fruition in your life!
