Pushing Past Our Limits: Letting Go of Self-Imposed Boundaries

One of the biggest obstacles we face isn’t from the outside world—it’s from within. 

Too often, we set limits on ourselves, telling ourselves we’re not capable or ready. 

We hold back from trying new things or pursuing our true purpose because we’re convinced we can’t handle it. But these limits are self-imposed, and if we want to experience real growth, we need to push beyond what we think our boundaries are.

The truth is, God designed us for more than what we often believe about ourselves. Ephesians 3:20 reminds us: “Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.” 

Our vision for ourselves is often limited, but God’s vision is so much bigger. His power, not our own strength, is what enables us to break through those limits.

Breaking past self-imposed boundaries doesn’t mean being reckless or ignoring our real limitations. It means trusting that when we step out in faith, God will provide us with the strength, resources, and wisdom we need. 

Pushing beyond what we think is possible means stepping out of our comfort zones, trying things that feel intimidating, and trusting that growth often comes through challenges.

When we let go of our fears and trust God to carry us through, we start to see that what we thought were limits were really just stepping stones. Philippians 4:13 gives us the assurance we need: “For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.” That “everything” doesn’t come from us; it’s powered by God’s strength in us.

If you’re feeling stuck or limited today, ask yourself: Are these limits real, or are they just walls I’ve built to stay comfortable? 

To truly grow, we need to lean into God’s strength and take steps that stretch us. Because often, what we see as our limits is just the beginning of what’s possible when we trust in Him. 

Let’s be bold enough to break through, trusting that with God, we’re capable of more than we can imagine.
