Take your eyes off your circumstances and look to Him instead.
Noah was a drunk...
Abraham was too old...
Isaac was a daydreamer...
Jacob was a liar...
Leah was ugly...
Joseph was abused...
Moses couldn't talk...
Gideon was afraid...
Samson had long hair, and was a womanizer... Rahab was a prostitute... Jeremiah and Timothy were too young... David had an affair and was a murderer... Elijah was suicidal... Isaiah preached naked... Jonah ran from GOD... Naomi was a widow... Job went bankrupt... John the Baptist ate bugs... Peter denied CHRIST... The Disciples fell asleep while praying... Martha worried about everything... Mary Magdalene was demon-possessed... The Samaritan Woman was divorced - more than once... Zaccheus was too small... Paul was too religious... Timothy had an ulcer... and... Lazarus was dead.
So what's your excuse?
"Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong," II Cor.12: 9 - 10.
"Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written down for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come," I Corinthians 10:11
