Sometimes, we carry things so quietly—hopes, hurts, questions we haven’t dared to speak aloud. But here, at the bench, you don’t have to have it all figured out. This space was made for real hearts and honest moments. 

Today’s reflection is a gentle pause—an invitation to breathe deep, lean in, and meet God right where you are. Rejection stings. Whether it’s a door that closed, an opportunity that slipped away, or a place you thought you belonged—no can feel personal. But what if the “no” is actually God’s redirection? 

In today’s Garden Bench reflection, I’m sharing about the moments where what we want doesn’t align with what God is doing—and how He meets us there with wisdom and a better way. If you’ve been wrestling with a closed door or feeling like you missed something good, this one is for you.
