Sometimes My Brain Says No, But My God Says Yes

Today is my 5th day at DLA and it feels more like it has been a month. God has taught me so much just in that small amount of time. We have had long talks about my fear and trust issues. During many of the prayer meetings God has been calling me to give Him absolutely everything of me. He keeps asking me to hold nothing back, to trust Him in every aspect of my life this year. Sometimes I feel like He is asking the impossible of me. But as I read the Bible and listen to God more, I realize that what He wants to do is to make my life better. Who wants to go around afraid of everything? Who wants to be so afraid of failing that they never try? I am so tired of living like that. God has been showing me many verses on this subject. Philippians 4: 8-9,12-13; 3:13-14; Psalm 33:22, and those are just a few of them! He has made it so clear that He is trustworthy. My brain just has a hard time comprehending it. I am starting to learn to overrule my brain and listen to God. After all what do I know compared to the Creator of the universe? Another verse that He keeps bringing to my mind is Psalm 116:7, "Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the Lord has been good to you." God has been good to me, more than I could have ever imagined! I am so blessed to be in DLA, to have this opportunity to grow closer to God, and to be around Godly people. I am going to make the best of it by giving God my all, holding nothing back and trusting in Him for everything. This is going to be a good year :)
