Clear your throat if you need to, perhaps we all should out of guilt. If we are all straightforward with each other, many people limit and are limiting God's work in our lives. If it makes you feel any better, there are many of those who went before us, who restricted their Creator. Mosses, Thomas, David and the Israelites all went through times where they confined God by their perspectives, lack of trust, sin or from just being human. Psalm 78:41-42 explained about the Israelites: "Yes, again and again, they tempted God and limited the Holy One of Israel." Just because we are in good company, doesn't mean it good for us. Folks are missing out when they put God in a box and only release Him on Sundays or on special holidays. Curtail your restrictions by uncovering the 6 ways you are limiting God.

If we are happy, God is with us. If we are depressed, God can't be around. No matter how many times you want to mold God what based on emotion, it will be a waste of stamina. God is omnipresent. He is there if we are happy or not. “If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation," 2 Corinthians 1:6-7 shared. "If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. And our hope for you is firm because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.” When we look to the next emotional high, we are doing ourselves a disservice by not giving God the opportunity to work during our lows.
