Exodus 3:11 (NIV)
11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”

That is the million dollar question isn’t it? Who me, you want me to go? You want me to do that or go there? When God tells us to do hard things or things beyond our talents, gifts and abilities, we often ask him if He is out of His mind? Why? Because we don’t believe that God can overcome our shortcomings. That isn’t a statement about our ability or lack thereof, it is a statement about God’s ability or lack thereof. We are saying that we don’t believe that God could work through me. There is too much of that in the church today. People are waiting for the professionals to pray, preach and minister. When God chooses you, go for it! You have what it takes – you have God with you!

The other thing in relation to this is that we don’t ever hear God tell us to do things beyond ourselves! That doesn’t mean that God doesn’t believe in you, but that we are not listening. I think we turn God off because we don’t want to hear what He has to say. People of God – spend some time with Him – listen – He will tell you things that will blow your mind. You’ll love it!
