day 3 focus: SHUTTING THE DOOR

Some doors have to stay closed for your peace to remain open. Every believer who desires intimacy with God must learn the discipline of intentional separation, stepping away from the noise, the scroll, the comparison, and even good things that have turned into idols. Day 3 is about boundaries: guarding your time, your peace, and your spiritual space.

When you shut the door, you tell the world, “I’m unavailable to everything that drains me.” Behind that door, revelation multiplies. Oil flows. Strength is renewed. This day, we reclaim sacred stillness and silence every distraction that keeps us from the secret place.
