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).
When we relate to God through our limited human experience; our senses; our human perception; we are not truly limiting God. We are limiting our ability to access God’s limitless power and grace. We are cutting ourselves off from God.
If we accept our own limitation while affirming God’s infinite ability, then our senses are opened, truth is revealed and God comes fully into our lives. We are the gatekeepers to our spiritual world however, and can block our own access to God.
Let us rise above human perception and sensory-based understanding of the world. Then we can have eye’s to see and ears to hear the good news of God’s love and limitless power.
Without limits,
