Good Morning Garden

The principal reason why prayers are not answered is because in our hearts we limit the power of God. The Bible constantly tells us that the people got into trouble because they limited the Holy One. When you say, “There is no way out of my difficulty,” what can it possibly mean except that you cannot see a way out? When you say, “It is too late now,” what can that possibly mean except that it is too late for you?

When you pray you are turning to the power of God and surely you will admit that God is omnipotent, and therefore nothing can be too difficult, or too late, or too soon for Him. You will surely admit that infinite Wisdom takes action when we pray and so our own limitations do not matter—unless we think they do.

Children often find themselves completely overcome by a difficulty that a grown-up person easily solves. What to the child seems an impossibility is quite easy to his father, and so even our greatest difficulties are simple to God.

Infinite Wisdom knows a beautiful and joyous solution to any dilemma. Do not limit the power of God for good in your life.

…Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? Or have I no power to deliver? … (Isaiah 50:2).

One of the most difficult tasks we face in our spiritual journey is to accept the unlimited power of God. Human nature constantly attempts to put boundaries on all we perceive in order to analyze and understand it. This works well for managing our physical existence, but is the enemy of spiritual reality and our growth therein. Our tendency to quantify and put boundaries and limits on God is problematic because it is vanity and replaces God’s truth with our perception of the truth. It also denies the unlimited power of God. So at its core, it reflects lack of faith and makes us an obstacle to God’s will. To overcome this human trait, we must accept God’s will and deny our limited perception of truth. Then we facilitate God’s will instead of being an obstacle to it and this gives us access to unlimited potential.

Rebuking limitation,
