"who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began,
2 Timothy 1:9 (NKJV)
Having experience with something is often a requirement for employment. When applying for a job, a person will usually be asked about their education, past experience, and any kind of training that they had which would qualify them for the work. Getting a job that requires previous experience can be difficult if you are never able to do the work and get the actual experience. But, even if you do not have the experience, education, or training necessary for the job, you might still be hired if someone knows you and can explain to the potential employer why you would be a good person to fill the position.
One thing that every believer needs to understand is that God has a plan and purpose for their life. We are the Body of Christ, and we are each a part in the Body. Just like our natural body does not have any unnecessary parts, the Body of Christ does not have any members in it that are not essential for the Body of Christ to do what God wants to do. But, while many believers recognize that God has a plan for their life, some of these same people are still thinking that for some reason they are not qualified to do what God has called them to do.
As Paul told Timothy in 2 Timothy 1:9, God has saved us and called us, He has a plan for our life. God's calling and purpose for our life is not based on something that we have done, our educational background, past experiences, or any kind of training we have had. While it is certainly true that God can and will use those things, we need to understand that it is by the grace of God that we have each been called by God to do something for Him. We may have done many great things in the past, but God's plan for our life is based on His grace, not our works.
