When I was in middle school, I started writing in a prayer journal. It was a more focused way of expressing my thoughts and prayers to God. It was also a tremendous testimony to how God was working in my life as I looked back and read past prayers.
Early in my high school career, I prayed that God would use my interest in languages to his glory. Because of my sister’s interest, my entire family took a sign language class, not to mention the Spanish classes in which I was already well entrenched.
Shortly after that prayer, we were offered the opportunity to host a Brazilian foreign exchange student through my high school. We were also given the chance to meet her family and host them on a visit. My limited Spanish and her broken English made it an interesting proposition to communicate with her family in portuguese.
During that time, I thought that was the only way God was answering my prayer regarding my passion for languages. Ha! I was greatly limiting God’s potential in my life.
For Throwback Thursday, take a moment to reflect on a prayer you have lifted up to God. He may not be through answering it yet. Let’s not limit his potential in our lives!

“Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits — who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” (Psalm 103:1-5)
“Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall, but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” (Isaiah 40:30-31)
“Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me and lead me in the way everlasting.” (Psalm 139:23-24)
