Jeremiah 1:4-9, 17-19 1. The Task is Too Demanding The word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:4-5 2. My Talent is Inadequate “Alas, Sovereign Lord,” I said, “I do not know how to speak; I am too young.” Jeremiah 1:6 "Then the LORD reached out His hand, touched my mouth, and told me: I have now filled your mouth with My words" Jeremiah 1:9 Always let your inadequacy make you dependent on God's all-sufficiency! 3.

Do not be afraid of anyone, for I will be with you to deliver you. This is the LORD's declaration" Jeremiah 1:7-8 “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” Hebrews 13:5-6 "Do not be afraid of anyone, for I will be with you to deliver you. This is the LORD's declaration" Jeremiah 1
