Jeremiah 1:4-8

The Lord came and told me,

“I knew exactly who you would be before I created you in your mother's womb; I chose you before you were born to be a prophet to the nations.”

“Oh no, Lord God!” I replied. “I really don't know how to speak in public because I'm still too young!”

“Don't say you're too young,” the Lord told me. “Go to everyone I send you to. Tell them everything I order you to say.

Don't be afraid of them because I'll go with you and I'll look after you. This is the Lord's promise.”
