Do Not Limit God

Any specific question involves a large number of assumptions which inevitably limit the answer. A specific question is actually a decision about the kind of answer that is acceptable. The purpose of words is to limit, and by limiting, to make a vast area of experience more manageable by you.  ~ Wapnick, Kenneth. Absence from Felicity : The Story of Helen Schucman and Her Scribing of A Course in Miracles, Chapter: The Song of Prayer: Special Message

Are you inclined to ask God either/or questions?
What about multiple choice? Does this description
of the process ring true? How do you speak,
ask questions, to other types of people?
To tell a toddler two possibilities only makes sense.
To give a spouse or a friend a set list of options
would likely meet with disdain.
How many times, though,
have you taken your wishes to God
and set out the marching orders,
your expectations? Is that really
offering yourself to God, to use you,
to build with you as your God might choose?
Any specific question involves a large number
of assumptions which inevitably limit the answer.
A specific question is actually a decision
about the kind of answer that is acceptable.
The purpose of words is to limit,
and by limiting, to make a vast area of experience
more manageable by you.God forgive us!
