Here’s a bit of good news: Not all of life’s many disappointments are dead ends—they’re divine detours.

You see, sometimes what feels like a closed door is actually God’s protection. What looks like rejection might be redirection. And when your plans fall apart, it doesn’t mean God’s plan has failed—it means He’s making room for something better.

Make note: “Disappointments are just God’s way of saying, ‘I’ve got something better for you.’ Stay patient.”

Undoubtedly, we don’t always see the full picture—but God does. He knows the timing, the outcome, and the purpose behind every “no,” every delay, every detour. So when things don’t go as expected, don’t lose heart—lift your eyes to the hills from which comes your help (Psalm 121:1).

Check out what Isaiah 55:8–9 says:

“‘For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,’ declares the Lord. ‘As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.’”

My beloved brothers and sisters, you may not understand it now, but trust—God never subtracts without intending to multiply. What feels like loss may be the setup for a greater gain. Your job is not to figure it all out—your job is to trust the One who already has.

So stay patient. Stay hopeful. Stay faithful. Stay strong.

What God has for you is worth the wait.

Pray with me:

Father God, though at times it’s extremely difficult to reconcile Your heavenly sovereignty with my earthly disappointments, I thank You for being sovereign even in my setbacks. Help me to trust that every disappointment is You way of reminding me that You have something better in stored. Holy Spirit, teach me to be patient when I’m restless, peace when I’m confused, and faith when I feel forgotten. I believe You’re working all things for my good—even when I can’t touch it, feel it, or see it. In Jesus’ name, I pray, believe, receive, and praise. Amen.
