A Blessing for Room 2

The One Standing at the Threshold

You’ve hovered long enough to know that God doesn’t abandon the dark places.

Now something is shifting. Share on X

A flicker. A whisper. A knowing you can’t quite name but can no longer ignore.

This is Room 2—and I want to speak a blessing over you as you step toward the light.

Room 2 is where God begins to say, “Let there be…” over the parts of your life that felt permanently dark. It’s where possibilities flicker, doors crack open, and you’re invited to step toward what’s next—often while you still feel shaky from what just ended.

I wrote this blessing for everyone who needs to hear that her/his limbo isn’t wasted—that God is present in the waiting.

Read this slowly. Breathe between the lines. Let it meet you right where you’re standing—between what was and what could be.

If you haven’t taken the quiz yet, discover your room here—but even if you’re not in Room 2, this blessing might be for someone you know.

A Blessing for the One Standing at the Threshold

As we continue on this journey together, I want to speak a blessing over you—right where you are:

May you trust the flicker, even when it’s faint.

May you know that the first flickers you’re seeing aren’t accidents, distractions, or wishful thinking. They’re revelation—evidence that the God who hovered over your darkness has begun to speak light into places that once felt silent, awakening what grief, exhaustion, or fear tried to bury. If He is showing you more, it’s because He trusts you enough to walk with you through it.

May you remember that hesitation is not disobedience—it’s your soul catching up to the light. You cannot miss what God has ordained. God’s light will wait for you.

May you feel the steady hand of the One who opens doors no one can shut, who isn’t impatient with your hesitation, and who isn’t shocked by how long you stand in the doorway before you step.

May you be free from the lie that you must have the whole blueprint before you take the first step. May you embrace the truth that in God’s Creative Process, light comes before full detail. Day One doesn’t show you Day Seven. It just shows you enough to move. One flicker is enough.

May God give you eyes to see what He’s highlighting and the wisdom to leave the rest in shadow for now. Not everything needs your attention today. Clarity comes in pieces, and that’s not a flaw—it’s mercy.

May you find the courage to seize the moment when it comes—not perfectly, not with all the answers, but with your whole, trembling, faithful “yes.”

May your nervous system begin to trust that this new thing is safe—that hope doesn’t have to mean devastation, that open doors don’t always lead to pain.
May your nervous system be blessed with enough peace to say yes to one small God-lit thing: one call, one email, one appointment, one truth told to someone safe.

May you see that Room 2 isn’t about hustling to make something happen; it’s about responding when God speaks. It’s about agreeing with His “Let there be…” over this new day in your life.

And may this truth take root deep beneath your doubts: You’re not stepping into this moment alone. The same Spirit who hovered in Room 1 now walks beside you into Room 2.

May you move forward not from panic, but from Presence—trusting that every tiny yes you offer in this room is part of a much larger story God is writing with your life.

May you remember: The light doesn’t come to overwhelm you. It comes to show you the next step—just the next one.

The same God who spoke light into existence is speaking light into your life right now.

He’s not asking you to create the light. He’s asking you to see it. To name it. To step toward it.

You’re not guessing in the dark anymore. You’re following the flicker.

And the One who lit it is walking ahead of you, beside you, and within you.

So take the step.
Say the yes.
Seize the moment.

The light is here—and so is He.

And when the light reveals more than you expected—when the yes you offered opens into territory that requires rest, boundaries, and a clearing of the clutter—know that Room 3 is waiting. The same God who spoke light is preparing space for you to breathe.

In the name of the Father, who illuminates your path; the Son, who is the Light; and the Spirit, who equips you as you go—

Amen.

If this blessing spoke to you, I’d love for you to share it with a friend who might need it too.

And if you haven’t taken the quiz yet, discover your room here.

You’re not alone in this. The rebuild has already begun.
