If God called you, He will equip you. Just remember, your family comes first. God, family, and then ministry. My pastor gets really bummed out sometimes when one trial after another happens to his congregation. He has other ministers that he leans on when he gets down. Just remember, you are human. You can only do what God has called you to do. It is so easy to get out of focus. You must not let the congregation pull you down. Be there for them, but they have to get the oil for themselves. (Remember the ten virgins) You cannot get the oil from anyone else but God. (oil = anointing)
You will do fine. You dont feel adequate, so when God uses you, you will not be able to take the credit. Just like Moses studdored and David was a shepperd boy. I always say, God can use me because He uses the lowly things to confound the wise. (I am not calling you lowly) He just needs a willing vessal who loves Him and obeys Him.
