Ephesians 2:10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
As we mature in Christ, we may get motivated to be used by God in certain areas. We’ll hear songs saying, “Use me Lord” and we’ll read about the great leaders in the Bible such as Moses, Joshua, or David and want to be used ourselves.
We’ll ask to be used by God, but no one said it was going to be convenient. God may want to use us on our day off or immediately after working a long day. As soon as it’s inconvenient with our schedule or lifestyle, some of our motivation begins to diminish.
As the inconvenience factor arises, that’s our defining moment. If we can go beyond our comfort zone and do what God has called us to do, then we can make a big impact in the Kingdom of God and in the world. Jesus didn’t come to earth and sacrifice Himself because it was convenient, but because He was obedient in spite of the inconvenience; His name is above all names. If we want to be used by God, effort from us must be given.

Thank you and Amen!!! I think the g in God should always be capitalized because there is nothing small about God. I am not sure about proper grammar and punctuation and yes Christian’s am a sinner and fall short of the glory of God as we all do. With that being said all the glory and honor and power and credit in all things goes to God. Please keep me in your prayers so that my yes will always be yes and my no always no. God bless you and thank you for your article and your sincere forthcoming prayer on my behalf.

Praise God for His Word and yes, I’m praying that you follow the prompting of God in everything you do.
Correction: We’re not all sinners. If we’ve made Jesus Christ the Lord of our lives, we were sinners. After salvation, we become the righteousness of God (2 Corinthians 5:21). We may sin from time to time, but that doesn’t change our identity. We’re still considered the righteousness of God.
