Yes, I did. I'm sorry, but I made sure I copied and pasted the source also. I got this from the Jesus Christ page and it really benefited me, so I can only hope that it benefits the people who read this post as well. :)
Exodus 4:10-13 "But Moses pleaded with the LORD, “O Lord, I'm not very good with words. I never have been, and I'm not now, even though you have spoken to me. I get tongue-tied, and my words get tangled.”
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.” But Moses again pleaded, “Lord, please! Send anyone else.” (NLT)
Insight
Moses pleaded with God to let him out of his mission. After all, he was not a good speaker and would probably embarrass both himself and God. But God looked at Moses' problem quite differently. All Moses needed was some help, and who better than God to help him say and do the right things? God made his mouth and would give him the words to say.
Challenge
It is easy for us to focus on our weaknesses, but if God asks us to do something, then he will help us get the job done. If the job involves some of our weak areas, then we can trust that he will provide words, strength, courage, and ability where needed. (© 2010 by Tyndale House Publishers)

I think this is really funny because it's exactly what I've been wanting to hear. You know how I have my issues with talking, expression of self. God will take care of everything. :D
