The Best Yes

Today the door closed on 

a hope that was 

never fulfilled in the way

it was planned.

Today that closed door

is the key to 

another hope that remains 

left unknown. 

Down on my knees 

I prayed.

I prayed for you, 

I prayed for me and 

for hopes that were left 

unanswered. 

The no of 

the unanswered prayer,

is meant 

not to leave you

feeling lost and hopeless, 

but to remind you

that your yes is coming 

and it will be bigger, 

better 

and brighter than 

anticipated with the hope 

that came with a no. 

In anticipation we wait, 

we pray, 

we hope and we ask God

to give us the 

desires of our hearts.

In faith we believe that 

when God closes a door, 

there is a key

to another door 

where your needs will

be met. 

Love is in the belief in 

faith and the 

courage in 

hope. 

Love is in the no 

from the unanswered 

prayer 

faithfully 

sent to a God 

who has our best yes in 

store for us.
