Some Doors Open Harder Than Other Doors

Some doors open harder than other doors. Why this happens is not always provided and because of that it can just plain be frustrating sometimes, especially when you are asking God to provide you with the correct key to open one, but for the time being He is just providing you with the correct hallway and/or the correct key chain.

I have been seeking God for direction in an area in my life and if He has provided me one, it is still too vague of an answer for me to proceed on. I am unclear as to what to do and growing a bit stressed over it the last few days. I keep giving it to God for clarity, hoping the door for which I am to take would just fly wide open; however, that has simply not been the case. I am now pondering as to why some doors open harder than do other doors.

Recalling years passed, I have had several doors plainly open or close, receiving clear direction from God. Other times a bit more prayer, but the eventual key will be provided or the door will slowly creak open. There was another time that sticks out clearly in my head of how a door closed shut on me before I even knew it was open. And my heart still aches some when I think about it.

This time things are slightly different and although I believe I have been here before, a specific time does not stick out in my mind and I am still left feeling discouraged. Currently, I find myself feeling like I have several keys in my hand trying to find the correct one that will unlock a door; OR rather, that I am in a long hallway with many closed doors trying to find the one door that my one key will unlock.

While this is becoming an emotional and spiritual battle for me, I need to keep placing it all in God's hands and trusting that although I feel like I am seeking God's answer and He is not currently providing me with answer, there is a reason. However, like the one door that closed, or I felt slammed in my face, 6 years ago before I knew it was opened, there was a reason and God had a plan. If that door didn't slam closed shut, I am not sure if I would have opened the other door for which God wanted me to open. A door for which has ultimately changed my life and how I view it forever.

Although I am a bit discouraged right now, I have to trust in God that like years past, He has a plan and a reason for having some doors open differently and harder than other doors. I may never know why those doors open differently, but I have to believe it is in my best interest.
