Teaching or learning

Please pray for me as I am about to take a major step in obedience and trust.

I have been asked to be a part of something really cool at church. We are going to do Sunday school with the entire congregation. Normally, the kids get dismissed before the adult teaching gets started, but not this week. We are going to worship with the kids, do a craft with the kids, have snack with the kids and then comes the part I have been given - teach the kids.

Now normally I don't have any problem sitting down and teaching the kids, but now instead of 30-50 kids I am going to be teaching 200+ people. On any other Sunday, that would be no problem. I love to talk and I love to teach, but I have wondering for the past four weeks - "How am I going to teach this subject to the kids in a way they will understand?"

So I prayed and God's response was, "Where do you get the words and ability to teach?"

My answer was, "From you?"

His response, "Why have you stopped trusting me?"

My response was to just be silent for a few moments and then I offered a very humble "I'm sorry."

I am now looking forward to presenting what it is that God has for His people.

It is an honor to be used in this way.
