Biblical Answer

The question "Why does it have to be me?" reflects a common human struggle to accept and identify with one's own identity and purpose in life. This struggle is rooted in a lack of understanding of one's own strengths, talents, and God-given identity. As the Bible reminds us, "Who am I that I could go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?" (Exodus 3:11). Moses' question reflects a common human dilemma, where we often feel inadequate and unsure of our own identity and purpose.

However, the Bible also teaches us that we are not alone in this struggle. God has created us with a unique purpose and identity, and He desires for us to discover and fulfill that purpose. As the Bible says, "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do" (Ephesians 2:10). This verse reminds us that our identity and purpose are not defined by our own efforts or desires, but rather by God's sovereign plan and purpose for our lives.

In order to overcome the struggle of feeling like we are not the right person, we must learn to recognize and accept our own strengths, talents, and God-given identity. This requires a willingness to surrender our own desires and ambitions to God's plan and purpose for our lives. As the Bible says, "I am the Lord; that is my name! I will not give my glory to another or so my praise to carved idols" (Isaiah 42:8). By recognizing and accepting our own identity and purpose, we can begin to live a life of purpose and fulfillment, and avoid the misery, frustration, and unfulfillment that comes from trying to be someone else. Becoming the person God created us to be is not just a personal preference, but a fundamental aspect of our faith and relationship with God.
