While I understand the tone of this question, in that it displays a lack of trust in God, I can’t help but identify with Moses’ sense of amazement.
Who are we to minister for an almighty God? The answer would be no one at all, if it weren’t for our Lord’s propensity for turning nothing into something for His own glory.

We are not naturally inclined to do everything God may ask of us.
Still, we should remind ourselves of His faithfulness and power to equip us for every good work.
