Is God calling you to a job for which you still feel unqualified? For me, i think i would never really feel qualified. if God gave me this job, then i know i am qualified because He saw something in me. He wouldn't just give me the job on a whim.....He knows what He is doing. Even though i know i am qualified, i don't think i will ever feel it. yea...i don't know how to explain it. Probably it is because there would be moments where i will get overwhelmed and frustrated; it will give me doubts as to why i was given the job in the first place. I am actually okay with these feelings. If i felt like i was qualified, i think i would be a very proud person. I wouldn't need God for strength because the job would seem pretty manageable on my own. But i am not like that, I need Him. It will be my weaknesses, doubts, and fears that would bring me closer to Him.
Reading the prayer of a reluctant servant sounds a lot like me. Exactly how i feel whenever i am faced with a challenge. I wonder what God is thinking when He is reading this prayer. Seeing it written and putting myself in God's shoes, i felt sad, yet happy. Sad that this person would feel this way. It makes me want to answer back by saying that you are qualified for this job, don't underestimate your potential, i will support and help you because i believe in you, just trust in me. I would reply the same way if my friend came over to me and said almost the same words in the prayer. But i also admit that i sometimes cant even take my own advice......
i felt happy reading this because i am seeing how this person would trust me. I mean this person is telling me a dilemma they are having and finding comfort and strength through me. I think God wants us to come to Him when we are in need of help, it would make Him happy knowing that we trust Him. He created us, so He out of everyone else knows where our potential lies.
