Then the LORD asked Moses, "Who makes a person's mouth? Who decides whether people speak or do not speak, hear or do not hear, see or do not see? Is it not I, the LORD? Now go! I will be with you as you speak, and I will instruct you in what to say." Exodus 4:11-12
On one hand, it's okay to admit anxiety and doubt to God; in fact, He tells you to (1 Peter 5:7). On the other hand, doubt can betray a lack of trust in God's ability to keep His promises. Moses, for example, made it clear that he wasn't up to the task God was calling him to do. In return, God made it clear that that was the point.
God knows your shortcomings and will help you to overcome them when you obey Him. He equips those He's called. Do you trust Him enough to obey when it gets hard? Your view of God is crucial to your faith. When you have doubts, remind yourself of what you know to be true about Him.
God's will is found in His Word (see Jeremiah 29:11; 1 Timothy 2:3-4; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; 5:18; Luke 9:23; Micah 6:8). The more you know Him, the clearer you'll see Him--including the inescapable truth that nothing is impossible for your God.
Prayer: Lord God, You made me for Your good purposes, and to know You. Guide me in my pursuit of You.
