Behold, I command you that you need not suppose that you are called to preach until you are called.
Doctrine & Covenants 11:15
Wanting to serve and hoping to serve are not substitutes for being called to serve. Just because the desires are righteous doesn’t mean that the authority has been granted. Even if we expect to be called we must be patient until a call is extended. Asking for an opportunity is as far as we can go but our responsibility is to be righteous.
Behold, this is your work, to keep my commandments, yea, with all your might, mind and strength.
Doctrine & Covenants 11:20
