The Courage to Surrender

Ephesians 3:20 says,

"Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us..." King James Version

"Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]--" Amplified Bible

"God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us." - The Message

If God can to do ALL of THIS, why don't we let Him?!

Do we believe Him?
Do we know He loves us and promises NEVER to leave us?
Do we think it has something to do with whether or not we deserve it?
Why is surrendering to His way so difficult?
Why do we give FEAR such a large space in our lives?
Why is resting in Him so hard?

Surrender takes courage. Believing takes courage. Faith takes courage.

Courage is not how we feel, but the power of God to allow us to accomplish the thing(s) He has created that ONLY we can do...His purpose.

Yes, surrender is hard, but where in the Word did God promise us that this walk wouldn't be?
