I was called to preach nearly 2 years ago, in that time period I have been given the opportunity 4 times. Its been a year to the day I preached my last message. And I feel like its killing me. I am one of the youth leaders at my church and we have started a new program. I am greatly needed to work within the program as we are a small church. But I'm not happy doing it, sometimes would rather stay home than go to church because of it. I have some illness and a lot of problems with my family in the past year as well. Basically distraction. I don't know whether to just ask for an evening to preach or be patient and wait. I almost feel forgotten about. In a way I started thinking that maybe I wasn't really called, but that can be so. I've been wrestling with it all night and the burning desire is there. It cannot be ignored. Please pray. This something I must do, the desire and compulsion is just too great.
 
Jesus renew a fire in her, give her the joy of your salvation. Have her family become a support system for her...give her a healthy body, mind and spirit.( The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Romans 8:16) Lord may your spirit testifiy with her spirit, and give her the faith she needs to preach the godspel of Christ. Return to her the joy of your salvation! In Jesus name amen
 
Its not that I've lost the fire or the faith to preach. I have been doing what is needed and not what I'm called to do. My church and family were very supportive of me at first. But since I've taken the position in the youth program, I feel they have forgotten me. I am hardly in the service anymore because I am working with the kids. The program is growing which is wonderful. God has blessed the work. The call to preach is a consuming one, it can't be ignored, I chose to sacrafice so my church can have this wonderful program. But it can be my soul focus forever. I know that, God has made that clear, its getting everyone else to understand that.
 
Praying that God gives you the strength to do His work and that He sees to it that a wonderful path is created. :)
 
Praying for you in Jesus that all needed will be provided .

God bless.

Thank you to all those who have prayed. I will be preaching in 2 weeks. I think my biggest hang up was talking with my pastor and being afraid he would tell me to give up working with the kids. The kids are my comfort zone, I worked with them for years before being called to preach. Again thank you for praying and may God Bless You!
 
Thank you for the update! I will pray that God will bless all that you do!
