Jeremiah 1:6-8 (NKJV) 6 Then said I: “Ah, Lord God! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.”7 But the Lord said to me: “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ For you shall go to all to whom I send you, And whatever I command you, you shall speak. 8 Do not be afraid of their faces, For I am with you to deliver you,” says the Lord.
Do you ever feel like sometimes God is prompting you to say something or do something for Him, but you are too afraid, feeling inadequate?
Maybe you think you are going to mess it up. Maybe you’re afraid it won’t come out right. Well, you are not alone; Jeremiah had similar feelings. He had his excuses too. We all do.
There is nothing wrong with us feeling this way. We just can’t let it stop us from doing what God wants us to do. When God asks us or prompts us to do something for Him, He plans on doing it through us. He is there to help us. He will not leave us on our own, to use our own natural ability. He will give us what we need and He will deliver us.
Don’t be afraid. Take a stand and do what He is asking you to do even if you are scared of how it might turn out. Do it anyway. Trust Him to guide you and deliver you.
