Questions for reflection on Jeremiah 1:4-10
  1. How would you respond if God called you to speak his words as His prophet?
  2. Why do you think reluctance seems to be a pattern among prophets and saints?  E.g. Moses, Gideon, Saul, Isaiah, Ezekiel
  3. Jeremiah said “I am only a boy” (1:7). What would your objection be (assuming you might)? What were the objections of others called by God in the Bible and throughout history?
