Leading Worship for Others

I am not sure why it frightens me so much, but it definitely does. On this trip to Mississippi, we have been asked that each of us gives a worship for our group? or everyone? I really need to clarify that.. or maybe I shouldn’t and just be surprised when that time comes? :)

God has really pulled me out of my comfort zone a lot lately.  A month or so ago the Associate Pastor of my church and myself gave a presentation on the Da Vinci Code.. this was a little easier for me since I knew exactly what I was going to talk about.. we did have a topic afterall.  It went really well, but yes I was definitely out of my comfort zone.  And now this.. and this one actually frightens me a bit more.. probably because it’s going to just be me leading the worship of our Savior.. that’s a huge responsibility in my eyes!  What words of wisdom will I pass on to them?  It can’t be my words since my wisdom is foolish, which means I need to lean on the Lord for the topic, or the words.  He has equipped me even if I do not have any idea of what the equipment looks like.. I guess I do not need to know.. it sure is more comforting to know though :)

From all of that rambling.. it seems that the answer lies in.. just trust the Lord, let Him have my burdens and go on.  What an awesome God He is to even care about our burdens, let alone take them from us.  Reminder to self.. let Him have my fears.. just give it to Him.. come on Rick.. you can do it… Argh! Why do I want them so badly!

Do any of you have a wonderful topic for me?  Maybe God will will use one of you to let me know what the topic of the worship should be.. that would sure be nice :)
