That holy tension you feel in your heart isn't anxiety - it's an assignment from God. Divine calling isn't reserved for a select few; instead, God asks 'Who will go for us?' and waits for our willing response. The call comes to everyone, but hearing it depends on the condition of our spiritual ears and our readiness to say 'Here I am. Send me.'Discovering God's calling begins with asking the right questions and listening for what breaks your heart. Every powerful work of God starts with a question, just as Nehemiah's story began when he inquired about Jerusalem. Your journey starts with praying 'Where do you want me? What do you want me to do?'

God often reveals His calling through what moves us to tears or stirs righteous anger within us. Your past pain and brokenness aren't wasted - they're preparation for your purpose. Fear is normal and biblical, but it doesn't disqualify you from God's calling. Even Nehemiah admitted being 'very much afraid' yet still moved forward in obedience. Following Nehemiah's example, we learn to pray persistently, ask for God's favor, make concrete plans, assess situations carefully, and cast a vision to others. God doesn't call the equipped; He equips the called. You are uniquely created to reflect Christ's love in ways only you can. When you step into your calling, you experience God in tremendous measure and find the greatest joy in serving within the sweet spot of your divine purpose.
