We know that we are supposed to serve. And we know that God has a specific work for us to do. But do you wonder "what if I don't know what that work is" or "I just don't know how right now"? I was reading in the April Ensign and President Eyring said something that really helped me not feel so worried about missing my change or not being capable. He said
"The Lord knows both what He will need you to do and what you will need to know. He is kind and He is all-knowing. So you can with confidence expect that he has prepared opportunities for you to learn in preparation for the service you will give. You will not recognize those opportunities perfectly... But when you put the spiritual things first in your life, you will be blessed to feel directed toward certain learning, and you will be motivated to work harder."
We really just need to put our confidence in God, and thus confidence and patients for ourselves.
If you are interested in the talk, it is on pg 24 "Learning and Latter-Day Saints" by Elder Dallin H. Oaks and Kristen M. Oaks.

Putting our confidence in the Lord and then doing our best is always the best advice! I liked that talk too! The word is patience not patients(these are people seeing a doctor). xxoooo Mom
