2) Personal story.......
1 These are the words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, one of the priests from the town of Anathoth in the land of Benjamin. 2 The Lord first gave messages to Jeremiah during the thirteenth year of the reign of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah. 3 The Lord’s messages continued throughout the reign of King Jehoiakim, Josiah’s son, until the eleventh year of the reign of King Zedekiah, another of Josiah’s sons. In August of that eleventh year the people of Jerusalem were taken away as captives. 4 The Lord gave me this message: 5 “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.” 6 “O Sovereign Lord,” I said, “I can’t speak for you! I’m too young!” 7 The Lord replied, “Don’t say, ‘I’m too young,’ for you must go wherever I send you and say whatever I tell you. 8 And don’t be afraid of the people, for I will be with you and will protect you. I, the Lord, have spoken!”

Jeremiah was around 18 years old when God called him to be a prophet. Maybe God may be calling you at a young age to do something you think you are to young to do or maybe, God maybe calling you at an age where you feel, you are to old to do it. Remember God can use anybody and anything to accomplish His will.
13 For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.
Jeremiah wasn't just young, he also was uneducated.
Jeremiah wasn't just young, he also was uneducated.
He knew nothing about being a prophet, he didn't have a bachelors or masters degree in the Prophetic. We must remember that it is God who will teach us along the way.
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.
