[Brandon Duncan]

The devil is a liar and we must BELIEVE what the BIBLE teaches us we are and what we have, not what we might do or be and accomplish according to worldly standards.
Go to the WORD of GOD and meditate on what it says we have, what we are and what we can do.
Some people are simply called to serve as prayer warriors and or helpers and they are essential and just as important as an evangelist or preacher.
So rebuke those lies, get in the WORD - im praying you Up to believe what JESUS says above all else.

You are of mighty use in the Kingdom, alot more than you think.

Its not about doing the most grandeur gestures, but if it is done with a willing heart and great faith. And if you feel constricted in your situation, ask your husband and/or friends to help you out with certain tasks (if you want to organize some event, create a team, or if you want to see changes around your church have a friend represent you when it comes to meetings, etc). Mentor a child or a teenager in the church, even if its a simple Word or to find out how they are doing in school and help them out. Even if its to give them a gift. Hand out tracts to the community, or offer to pray for the lost in the mental hospital, go in a group if its too much to do on your own. So much, so don't feel like you're of no value, because you truly are.God went through great lengths to remind us that we are truly valuable, so its just a matter of you trusting what God said and running with it. The church is there to help one another and are of one body, so utilize your siblings in the Lord, and help train a child in the way they should go.

And been encouraged. I pray that you don't let your situation dampen your spirit, but that God comforts you and gives you the strength to toil on for the Kingdom.

So “doing the dishes is “all” I do.please do not sell yourself short . That’s a crappy job that has to done and nobody wants to do it ,yet you do it! That speaks volumes as to your humility and maturity.God sees your heart and it is a good one.that is the only thing that will matter in the end....keep up the good work! God bless you,fine woman

I feel like am not doing Gods work

.
You can work for or serve God "by proxy", eg by financially supporting, no matter how little money, His Church, pastors, evangelists, missionaries, etc(= His brethren), as per MATTHEW.25:31-46.

 

[God bless Joshua]

If you cant do anything just fasting and praying is the same worthy job for God, even God has used the unable poor Lazarus for His purpose.

 

[Radagast]

i do help at church by doing the dishes but thats all i do

You need to read this book (online here). The essential idea is to do what you can for the love of God, and to pray without ceasing.

Hi, Lily God bless you and your husband Thank you for sharing such personal things with us. Every one of us has the same basic need, the same basic problem which only God is able to handle. God is easily able to change us to be real in His love.

You have people you can love. We should appreciate however much we are able to love each and every person.

God wants you, not only your money and service. But do what is good. And enjoy loving the people you are helping.

Washing the dishes is valid! I was the cleaner at a foodbank for eighteen months. I also volunteered at an organic vegetable growing project for eighteen months. I find it good for my mental health to do honest, straightforward work like that (a bit of silence away from people and screens). Even at a party you'd probably find me doing the dishes to be honest, hehehe.

That's a good idea. Volunteering with a team of people who can do things she is not able to do

Lily, remember smiles, hugs and kindness heal hearts.

Many of those things are most important.

Let other people know you are looking for ways to be of more help to people and see if something that you are good at comes up. If not, keep smiling, being kind and sharing hugs.

You have a desire to serve others and that, in itself, is beautiful.

Love and serve the people around you. Be prayerful in small things, and pray and thank God continually. Then you will be ready to be used. I heard a quote from a Mennonite man once that said "Pray not the God would use us, but that He would make us usable", and that makes sense. Often we holler up to God "use me!!!" and we have ideas in our head as to what that will or should look like. Like, a huge stadium with millions watching as we speak, or writing a best-selling book, or opening up a global charity on only twenty bucks. Or witnessing to twenty five people a day and every one of them converts to the Lord on the spot. Yeah, that rarely happens.

God can and will use you, and likely is using you right now. Saint Teresa of Calcutta once said "God calls us to be faithful, not successful". True, that. Be faithful in everything, and in His eyes, you will also be a success.
