Are You Putting Limits on God?

Our God is in the business of making miracles happen. I firmly believe that. So why do I keep putting limits on God? Let me explain…

There are a couple areas in life where change feels like (and WOULD be) a straight-up miracle. And while I’ve been praying about these areas, I’ve been asking God for a little relief here and there. But asking for a complete change? That seems impossible. So I let my own doubt creep in and I tell myself that I don’t want to be disappointed when God doesn’t answer that prayer…so I’ll just ask for improvement here and there.

Recently as I’ve been reading through “Girl, Wash. Your Face” (by Rachel Hollis…for those of you who have been living under a rock!), I read something that really hit me hard. It was an “aha” moment so to speak!

Reading this hit hard with me. I realized that I had been limiting my own dreams, and in doing so, I was limiting God. When I was asking for improvements over complete change, I was limiting the ways that He could show up in my life. Limiting the way He could completely transform me.

Well, it’s time to put an end to that! This morning, I wrote down 3 things that I need to see a God-sized miracle in. 3 things that I will be praying over, morning and night. 3 things that I will be begging, pleading, and BELIEVING for God to show up and transform!

Why am I being vague about these 3 things? Because they don’t involve just me, and not everyone is comfortable sharing this information in a public setting. I’m sure you can understand that. And while I may not be able to devulge all the details, I look forward to sharing with you how God showed up for me because I chose to stop limiting him.

The future looks bright, my friends!

How about you — have you been guilty of placing limits on God? What is holding you back from letting go and letting God transform that area of your life? It’s time to dream big!
