Surrender to Humility
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.—James 4:10 (NIV)
But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”—Exodus 3:11 NIV
In the above verse Moses’ response to God’s call is directly opposite to Isaiah’s, “Here I am! Send me” (Isaiah 6:8). Yet it’s understandable that when called to do something outside of our comfort zone, we doubt our own ability. God has given each of us unique skills and gifts to fulfill our purpose here on earth.
Dear God, because of Your power and grace I have the strength and confidence to complete the task You have called me to do. Here I am! Send me.

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.—James 4:10 (NIV)

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.—Galatians 5:22–23 (NIV)

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.—1 Corinthians 15:58 (NIV)
